I have one, and have been very satisfied.  You really do get the speed they
claim.  The only bug I've found in the software is that if you try to
restore individual files and directories (rather than a full partition), and
the directory isn't at the root, the part of the path that wasn't selected
isn't restored.

   i.e. if I have \a\b\c\d and \a\b\c\e on a tape, and try to restore just
   \c, \c\d and \c\e are restored at the root instead of the correct
   \a\b\c\d and \a\b\c\e.
