>> For example, DVDs will be too slow to record video data in real time. But if cost is less of an issue than speed, another equally exciting innovation based on magnetic media may be more appropriate. Removable cartridge systems, meanwhile, use DVD technology and allow massive storage in a removable form. One cartridge system comes from an industry leader, Syquest. This drive, the Quest 4.7, will be released next year. It will be priced at about $600 retail, and store 4.7 Gbytes on each cartridge, equivalent to a double-sided DVD RAM.<< I think his paragraph is confusing. He might really refer "Removable cartridge system" to DVD-RAM while the Quest is "based on magnetic media". Yes, it is unimportant detail but overall the article is good. I will like to see more about HiFD. aC
