I remember it exactly, as it was yesterday.

My first one was very old, huge, noisy and slow 3.5" 40MB Western digital, which I tried to connect externally to my A600. The price was 1800,- CZK, which was - in that time - about 33,- GBP

Didn't worked with Amiga, so I swapped it with also very obsolete Longmont Miniscribe 40MB. It worked and I had been using it for a long time. It is still somewhere in my lockers.

3rd one was IBM-DALA 3540 - 540MB 3.5" low profile HDD, which I put inside of my new A1200, where it worked for years. The price was 5400,- CZK, which was equivalent of 100,- GBP.

Years were something between 1994-1996.
