Hi , Which Hard drive is better for Amiga 4000 ? 3.5 or 2.5 ? :) I know in originally is 3.5 but my HD is really hot :mad: and higher power consuption then 2.5 small hd , i think replace my 3.5inch to 2.5 ATA
i have FAST ATA 4000 , does 2.5 inch HD give me the same or similar speed , ? what my originall 3.5 HD 8mb /s ? what You think ?

bandwidth-wise, two modern 2.5" and 3.5" drives will be way faster than any amiga controller (if you can even find an IDE drive). 8 MB/s from an IDE drive in an amiga is very good performance, I think..

why not get a Compact Flash setup, which is fast and silent?
 
I recommend 2.5", low power, quiet and more reliable than compact flash
