I guess that's why SparQ just won the PC Week magazine award for best drive. Magazine after magazine after magazine review praises SparQ. But just wait till Orb ships, engineered with its even more reliable MR technology! Orb's gonna blow the lid off the dump! I just wish Castlewood was offering shares of stock for the public to buy. Check out the specs of Orb. They're AMAZING. castlewoodsystems.com

Steve, It's well known now that the SparQ drive - while less expensive than the Jaz - is inherently less reliable. In fact, the SparQ is not even a cross-platform drive. It won't work on Macs. PC's only. I had seen a product review on the SparQ recently that indicated that the SparQ appeared to be unreliable and difficult to install. The SparQ media was flimsy the bundled software was practically worthless. The claimed they wouldn't trust the SparQ with their data. In any case, the SparQ drive looks "chintzy" to me. Cheap, yes....and it shows. Philip
