I use for my A500 the skyline HD which is one of the cheapest
hard disk for amiga that we can found here in france.
I got some trouble when I bought it because of a bad controller
card , but now it seems to work fine. 
The skyline HD500 has 30 meg and an access time of 65 ms.
The version I have is not autoboot , but you can add an autoboot
module for a low cost (autoboot is not so great when viruses are
walking around ...).
You cannot add memory as allow the A590, but you can add another
disk (3" 1/2).

Buy a Hard disk to your amiga, it will transform it!
