I am considering the purchase of a hard disk for my A2000. I am specifically looking at a MiniScribe 40 ms type hard drive (probably 40 MB). I also own a Bridge Board. This raises the question as to whether I should buy this drive with an IBM disk drive controller (neglible additional cost) or an Amiga A2090 ST506/SCSI controller ($300). I will be using the drive, in either case, mainly for my Amiga side. Can anyone give me any rough data or benchmarks regarding how fast the IBM vs Amiga ST506 vs Amiga SCSI drives access times would be?
