I've just finished evaluating a 45 meg cartridge unit for the company I'm
working for.  The unit is a Syquest SQ555 drive  (same as the one mass micro
sells [they are manufactured by syquest]).

I've been using it now for about a month now as my main drive and have had no
problems.  The other important factor involved with the drive is the software
driver.  The one I'm using with the device is by Software Architects and works
well.  It can handle cartridge changes properly.  This is important if you need
to swap them without restarting.
