Given that the A600 drive is a DD drive, the disk will be formatted as DD (880 KB). It will be unreadable by HD drives and it will be unreliable, it might loose its data sooner or later. So you should only use this combination to transfer data from one computer to another, but you should not use these disks to store important data.

No problems if you have an original Amiga HD drive - like I have in my A500 (as upgrade).
