I have a DPI 44meg cartridge drive and so do 2 of my friends and we love them.

Nice, fast response time and its great the way you can just pop em in and out
like nice big 44meg floppies! I think they are the next best thing to 
magneto-optical drives (a al NeXT).

The drive mechanism for ALL the cartridge drives of this type come from
SyQuest. I use a Mass Micro formatted cartridge in my DPI with no problems.

So I'd highly recommend the DPI(Direct Peripherals Inc.) drive.
