Depends on which side you use most and where you need the speed. Both the
Amiga and PC can take advantage of a hard drive no matter which side it is
on. One point to remember is that you cannot BOOT the Amiga from a PC hard drive
while you can BOOT both the Amiga and PC from an Amiga side hard drive(2090A).
