Can someone answer a stupid question for me?
What do you have on your Amiga that requires a drive larger than 4gb?
Even back in the day, I only had a 512 meg hard drive, and I never ran out of room, but then again I am not a pack rat, I only put programs I actually used on the hard drive, and extraneous files where kept on Syquest disks.


Buy a high-end Amiga and you'll find out soon enough :)

I have a ton of MP3 and MPEG movies on My A600+vamp2 and a whole massive load of WHDload games.
Also later games like payback, big shapeshifter config,ScummVM, a ton of other programs, a very complete workbench and the list goes on and on.
Then you'll discover even a 32GB CF drive is quite limited :D
Amiga is addictive coz it is fun to use
