I agree, especially since the original requestor said he was going to be handling sound (MIDI) data files. Sound and graphics data tend to burn up disk real estate at an alarming rate. The 44MB Syquest removable cartridge SCSI drive is very nice (it costs around $500 including one cartridge, plus about $80 per each additional 44MB cartridge). I use it primarily as a backup medium, but it is fast enough to be used as a primary disk too. The only trick is that you have to organize your files so that you can remove a set of them when you need to access another set.
