GVP Drives?
Ethan;
I do not have the GVP hard card so I can't offer advice on that one. I do
however have the GVP 2 MEG controller for the A2000. I have found both the GVP
controller and GVP's customer relations effort to be superb. When I got my
setup, I had a problem. I contacted GVP (who made the controller), Seagate (who
made the drive), and my retailer (who sold it all to me). Of those three, only
GVP made an honest effort to help with the problem. The problem turned out to
be the Seagate drive, which I EVENTUALLY got the retailer to replace.
For a product as expensive and complicated as a big hard drive card, it is
particularly important to evaluate post-sales service. I am certain there are
many quality vendors for the Amiga hard drive market. In my book GVP products
and service deserve an excellent rating.
I also agree with the other comment you received, that you can never have
enough HD storage space. I thought my Seagate 40+ MEG drive would be huge,
until I found out how useful it was to have a big HD. If I did not already have
my hard drive setup, I would buy the GVP 42mb hard card (unless, of course, I
could afford an 80mb version).
