4gb is the maximum that the Amiga scsi.device can support. I think the GVP gvpscsi.device is the same. This thread and Thomas's faq will tell you all you need to know: http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=61253

a couple of 3.9 gig drives is more than enough in an A2000! - even with a video toaster!  :-)


Video Toasters aren't that demanding. A stock Amiga 2000 with 6mb ram and something like an 80mb hard drive was standard for a Toaster 2000 and a typical Toaster 4000 was a screamer  on a stock A4000 with 16mb MB fast ram and something like a 200mb ide drive. The Flyer had it's own drive system which was seperate form the Amigas so it didn't require much more in CPU, memory or HD space from the Amiga. Only serious Lightwave rendering on the pro level demanded more serious hardware. These days this could be done much faster with Winuae.

I have a 4gb drive on my A4000 and it is more empty than full. I've got loads of Toaster framestores on it and the mass of them is around 100mb.

More is always better when it comes to hard drives and memory.

4gb of HD space is a lot of room to breath for an Amiga. It's just enough for a bare bones Xp install in a modern PC. There are reasons we love our classic Amigas.
