Yup, they're called hard drives. There's one beastie out there that has
removable cartridges, so you can take you pictures with ya without having
to take your whole machine along (even tho we know you don't mind hauling
your system all over the place anyway :-)

But I can't remember the name of the drive. It was pretty nice though. I saw
it at our local dealers.

I have also heard of floptical drives. They are normal floppies that have a
laser etched track to allow greater precision in reading and writing in a
special floptical drive. They are supposed to hold around 10 Meg per floppy.
But unfortunately there is no version for the Amiga yet.
