- I recently installed a Conner 1.08 gig SCSI-II drive on my A3000 using it's internal
- controller. Piece of cake! The drive is fast, quiet, and BIG! I don't recall the
- model number (it is an OEM drive - no box, docs, etc). Price was $235 at a local
- (Chicago) computer show. I also left my older Maxtor 212 meg drive in - no more
- Amiga and BridgeBoard fighting over the drive at boot time!
-
- Go for it. Given the proliferation of drives and the generally good reputations of
- the manufacturers (bad news travels fast) hard drives have pretty much reached
- commodity status, and you shouldn't have too many problems no matter which one you
- buy. My selection was determined solely on price.
