I had A500 without external floppy. with 512Kb expansion, you'd get roughly same speed in Xcopy because, iirc, it cannot access both drives at same time.
most games we played were on one or 2 diskettes, except adventures. and those ext drives were expensive, just like any other Amiga peripheral.
Better sorry than worry.

I'd say 512K expansion is much more useful to A500..
anyway this is one of those st00pid internet flaming discussions.
it doesn't really matter if those floppies were common or not.
Better sorry than worry.
