I already have a Seagate 10,000 RPM fan-cooled hard drive just for my OS 3.9 Amiga 2000HD system.

10krpm hard disk for A2000/030 system is total overkill, you're not getting full speed out of it anyway. Zorro II bus is capping the transfer speed. 10krpm helps with the seek time however.

BTW. Are you sure it's 10krpm on your A2000HD? According to your previous posts the speed is changing... So is it 8-15krpm or what?

I also have Commodore's high quality 68030 board. It blows the doors off the 040 to 060 boards in quality and reliability!

Have you ever owned 040 ot 060 board? Or where do you get this quality idea from? Lots of CBM hw was totally crap.

For example Blizzard 2060 would be something to consider. It has built-in SCSI controller aswell, that'll eat any Zorro II controller alive.

About the CD-RW, don't bother getting high end drive as your A2000/030 is not fast enough to transfer the data thru Zorro II bus anyway, and even if it was, the CPU is too slow to process the data.
