Our company is in need of a REMOVABLE hard disk system
of some sort in the next 6 months. I would like to hear from
anyone who has good or bad reports about any of the drives on
the market (or soon to be on the market). Was it worth the price?
Is it reliable? Is it fast or slow? Is the tech support good?
Some of the drives I have seen advertised are:
Jasmine-(?) 10 Meg
Bering-Totem II 20 Meg
Mass Micro-Data Pak 45 Meg
DPI-44 R 44 Meg
Peripheral Land-Infinity 10 Meg
Custom Memory Systems-CM-55 55 Meg
Our need is for storing and archiving as well as backing up
working data. We have 2 SE's and 2 Pluses with 80 Megs of
hard disk space. (What about tape drives?)
Thanks a bunch.

I would appreciate any words of wisdom concerning the new
and somewhat expensive removable hard disks. In particular the
MassMicro 45Mb removable drive.
I'm visiting from Australia and want to take advantage of the U.S.'s
cheap prices, the 45Mb removable seems kind of attractive for normal
hard disk use and fast back up.
Has anyone had any experience with these drives, or know of their
reliability record? Do you think they are worth the price?
I apologize if this has been discussed before. I am in need of a
speedy-ish reply as I'm returning quite soon.
Much thanks in advance.
