I am searching for a removable medium device to use as a combination backup
and secondary storage mechanism.  And also for transporting large files
here and there.

The reasonable choices seem to come down between a Syquest or a Bernoulli
removable hard disk.

Any experiences, good or bad, with these?

I am looking for specific brand names (and prices) -- not just general
comments.  I am also assuming that the current battles over Syquest
reliability are a temporary phenomenon.  Or am I wrong?
