I am contemplating buying some expansion disk space. The options obviously
are a second disk drive or a hard disk. Can anybody give me (from own
experiance) an opinion on how slow a second disk is compared to a hard disk.
Also can anybody using a second disk drive give me any insight in how soon
that gets full. Finally can anybody tell me anything about double sided
drives (prices, performance).

I know these questions can only be answered subjectively but I also know
that objective information usually is often hard to compare and can be used
to prove anything. So please give me your opinion, not what the manufacturer
claims.
