I am looking a harware backup solution for my home system. What would you recommend. It doesn't have to be that fast, price is more of a consideration :^( What about the ditto dirves or the sony drives. Thanks, Steve

Check the Hardware Compatability list first -- I don't think the the new 2GB Ditto or Sony driver are there. Most of the supported drivers are 4mm, which are expensive. I bought an HP-Colorado T3000, which is supported an relatively cheap -- a T1000 is even cheaper (100) and also supported. | |||||

Fast, reliable, convenient, inexpensive? Buy a ~3 GB hard disk that you only use for "backup". It will blow away any home-system tape solution. /Mark | |||||

If you want a tape drive on Windows NT, I suggest you look at the HCL and SCSI interface drives only. Anything not on the HCL will not work without custom drivers. NOTE: the exact vendor and model number must be supported. Steve P. |
