Allen, most of the people I know consider the devices unreliable for long-term or even intermediate-term storage and my experience concurs with theirs. I'm not claiming they are useless since I use them myself for temporary storage or sneaker-net transfers. I am saying the CLICK...CLICK...CLICK... of brand new cartridges in brand new drives is almost as revealing as the manufacturing problems which Iomega blames on cartridge makers. I use CD-R for storing important information, period. For all I know they have reached the limit of what can be achieved in this form factor with this media but as a user that's really beside the point.
