     I suggest NOT getting a more powerful power supply so you can power 
external peripherals like hard drives.  The Amiga's internal components
can only handle so much power.  Depending on what power supply you get,
you may well overload the lines leading to external peripherals.
     You should get a separate device for external peripherals.  For my 
Trumpcard 500, I purchased power supply w/ fan (60 watts) that holds space
for 2 - 1/2 height 5 1/4 inch drives.  (Since then, I have purchased another
hard drive and chained it to the Trumpcard).
     It works very well, w/ no wear'n'tear worries.
                                   Later
