- I think that I want to buy either an HP 35480A 5(8)Gb, or an Archive
- 4352XP 2(8)Gb DAT drive for backup purposes.
-
- 1) What is your experience with the reliability, support of these two
- drives.
-
- 2) Do these use different formats. If so, then which format would be more
- amenable to sharing data with other NeXTs, Suns, or Macs (i.e. which
- format is prevalent in the NeXT/Sun/Mac world).
-
- Any other comments are welcomed -- I'll summarize.
