In reply to Comment 5 (Pitur):
About noise problems:

You wrote:

>With 'noisy' I meant that my A4000 physically makes a lot of noise, which is not good in a soundstudio environment.

Ah, now I understand. For a strange reason I believed your Amiga leave hardware noise on the connections...

Here some suggestions:

Maybe you can leave your Amiga phisically out of the studio and connect it only by wire,

or,

Put the 4000 into a closed box (like it happened for some printer box in the early 24pin printer Era) in order to prevent noise.

or,

reduce the noise by using Cooling Fan with Noise Reduction and improve HD with more recent models...

I have a friend who put a 120gig eide into is Amiga by using a mini card who change IDE signal to SCSI.

This card avoids problem of IDE speed on Amiga because it links IDE HDs into the SCSI chain (with all the benefits you can imagine) and more this friend of mine has a now a modern and very quiet HD.
