My impression: reliable, fast (28ms), flexible. I have one drive at work
and one at home and a single cartridge I carry with me. So erery change I
make at work I have immediately available at home and vice versa.

Backing up a whole partition from one drive to another is fast and easy. I
simply did it with the normal desktop copy. This has the additional
advantage of defractioning the destination disk.
