Short answer: yes

Anyway if I were You i buy an a1200. It's relatively cheap these days and you can expand it cheaper than a500.
So i think the price of a good hd controller for a500 is the same price of an a1200.

If you do some sound sampling work, (if i read correctly)
you need a good cpu and probably a fpu too. Sound works on a500 takes a life. With an expanded a1200 (68030+6882+FAST ram) it is more comfortable. Most of the best sample converter/editing program use the advantage of fpu.
