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

I have 30gb boot drive. It is not just matter of size it is also how easily you found hard drive wich works with Amiga. My systems has a 300 - 500gb hard drives.

All hard drives wich I have tested has worked without hasle.

I have 1mb self made kickstart, with updated scsi.device and three file systems FFS, SFS and PFS.
