*Bigger HDDs or CD/DVD drives support possible with drivers
*Simultaneous operation of two harddiscs (master and slave):for a total of up to 256GB on your CPC!
*Transfer speed of 162KByte/s: That's as fast as copying memory inside the CPC with LDIR. In practice (loading FAT16/32 files) the speed is still about 130KB/s ([[SymbOS|SymbOS]]-FAT-driver), or 162 KB per second ([[FutureOS|FutureOS]] FAT32 support).
*External power supply required: no extra load for the CPC's internal PSU
*No timing problems: Interrupts don't need to be disabled during the data transfer with the harddisc. The harddisc can operate while you play sound or doing other things with your CPC (multitasking etc.).
