Amiga 2000...SCSI or IDE. Which is better?

[terminator4]

SCSI.  Buddha is IDE.  Again, I'd take a simple 2091 card over buddha its cheaper.   A gvp scsi with memory is better than 2091/Buddha. All those SCSI cards are on ebay from time to time.   Also, SCSI on Amiga was always better as IDE was not so much mainstream back then on Amiga.  A4000 had IDE, A4000T had both (and SCSI was better on it).

The fellow was asking for A2000 solutions.  His cost would still be lower with SCSI, and might be dirt cheap (if he is resourceful).
- a used SCSI controller is $20-30, plus used hard disk $10-20.  Total $30 to 50.
- Buddha will cost him $65 plus compact flash card $15-20 plus adapter $10 (dunno).  Total is $90-95.
cost of hard disks is irrelevant on Amiga because who honestly needs a 400gb hard disk???  I had 2-4 gb ones for ages and thats been always plenty.  Not to mention you run into problems with partitions > 4gb with FFS.  And SCSI cdrom is still cheap as used (local thrift shops or even on ebay).  a new DVDrom will cost him $25.  So it comes down to personal choice.
And at the end who really cares what controller to use.  Most Amiga users fail to spend money on the most important thing on their Amiga which is the CPU. :-D
