What did you pay for your first Harddrive to your Amiga

I too was an early adopter of the 30mb SupraDrive. I think I payed over £700 (GB pounds) for it in 1989 - with inflation that's over £1500 in today's money.

My first HDD was already installed in my A1200 when I got it second hand, it was 120Mb. Don't remember what I paid. I mean what my dad paid. In the region of £250.

Around £99 for a 40 MB 2.5 inch Conner

First hard drive I purchased was the A590 with 20MB hard drive and the optional 2MB of RAM. Cost me £349 at the time. Also purchased the A501 for £149 at the same time.

My first HDD was for my 500+ in 1994. I bought the sidecar second-hand for around €50-60 and I don't remember the exact model. I was a beige steel case with just a SCSI HDD controller in it, so no memory. The HDD itself I got for free and it was a very noisy 40 MB disk. It worked fine until I sold the Amiga with it a ½ year later.

I got an A500+ by GVP in 1990, which featured a 52MB Quantum and 2MB Ram. The price was around 1000 DEM back then, which would translate to around 500 Euros today (let's forget inflation).

I payed 0 though, since my blessed Grandma saved every penny for her beloved grandson. The controller has been reactivated and upgraded lately.

$300 for a 40MB SCSI external for my Amiga 500 in 1989. I loved it so much I bought another one.

[roy bates]

a few hundred pounds sterling,that was for one machine.

[xArtx]

A590 with 100Mb SCSI, forget how much, if any RAM!
$500 AU secondhand.

Broke it by getting two power supplies mixed up.
The power supplies of two different A590s.
One PSU turned on the A590 with the Amiga, the other had a switch of it's own.
Whatever was left working of the two A590s, and the two PSUs didn't work with each other.

[Zapotek]

£400-450-ish for a 450MB internal 3,5" HD for my A1200 sometime in 1993 or 1994. Installation and modification to make it fit was done in the store. Insane..

[Lord Aga]

300DM for a 120MB hard drive for my A1200

[jimbob]

A600HD was £499 when I bought it. A600 was £399. That makes £100 or about 3 months paper round money for a 20Mb conner.

Worked fine after a decade or so of gathering dust but won't spin up now. I think it maybe got its fatal knock when I moved house.

Mass storage? How much CPU cache in a top of the range i7 these days

[Severin]

About £360 for a 105mb SCSI HD + £90 for a non-standard PITA SCSI controller for my A2000.

[Codetapper]

NZ$900 for a GVP Impact Series 2 including 52Mb SCSI HD. It was bought second hand off another guy who had paid NZ$1800 for it less than a year earlier. That would have been around 1991 I guess.

[Sandro]

in 1997 I purchased an A1200 + 80mb HD for 120 u$ (was my 1st hardrive I haven't a PC in those times) I had an A500 since 1991 but no hardisk

then 15 months later in 1999 I purchased an apollo 1260+16mb for only 100 u$
1998-2001 were the times that anybody was migrating to PC the amiga hardware prices fell down

for some unknown reason Amiga hardware prices escalated again around 2003-2004

then I sold my apollo 1260 for u$400 in 2007 and purchased a tra1200 - 020/28mhz accelerator for 50u$...which is my today Amiga

[zipper]

Lots, a RocHard 800C with 2 MB Fast and a Conner 170 MB but the exact price is uncertain. In current money probably 700 - 800€. Must have thrown some 3000 - 4000€ on my A500 during 15 years.

[fryguy]

IIRC i bought my A1200 together with a 2.5" 120MB Conner hdd. I believe i payed 3500SEK (403€) for the hdd and 5000SEK (€576) for the A1200.

[chocolate_boy]

£399 for an A590 for my A500+ (same price the Amiga cost itself!) , a few months later I also got an A570 CD-ROM drive and had to swap them over depending on what I wanted to do, you couldn't have them both hooked up at the same time.
