>>Or, better yet, Castlewood has a better drive called ORB which costs only $199 and has a 2.2 Gig capacity. Each additional 2.2 Gigabyte ORB disk costs only $29. IDE and Parallel port ORB is available at various online dealers including pcmall.com, computability.com, and cdr.com.
ORB is much faster than Jaz, Jaz2, SparQ, Syjet, and even a lot of real hard drives.<<
Just thought I'd let anyone who reads Mr. Reid's hardware recommendations of a couple of facts.
Rocky has never actually used an Orb drive. As a result, he may not really know much about the quality of the product.
Also, the Orb writes faster than Jaz or Jaz2 only when write verify is turned off. Castlewood recommends that you turn write verify on, which cuts write speed in half.
