Editorial Reviews :
Onstream's 30 GB external parallel port drive is the ideal removable storage solution for quick connections to laptops and desktops. The drive accepts 30GB ADR cartridges (sold separately), and with its enhanced parallel port interface boasts native transfer rates up to 0.7 MBps.
Using OnStream Echo software, the drive works in Windows just like any other drive, giving you access to files from any application. With up to 30 GB of capacity per cartridge, you can forget about high media costs or the inconvenient 'backup shuffle' you get with other removable storage products. And you can finally back up today's large hard drives on one cartridge.
Buyer Reviews :
As hard drives get larger, so do storage devices to backup those enormous hard drives. Problem here is that via the parallel port, it can take an extremely long time to backup that 20 GB hard drive. I got the external thinking I could use it on multiple systems through the parallel port; truth is I have never used it on more than my main system. My recommendation is if you are going to spend a few hundred dollars on a tape backup system and only use it on one system, opt to get the SCSI version of this tape drive, or buy a SCSI DAT tape drive. Another complaint that I have is that the drive does NOT come with a tape. The media is also proprietary, so you may have a tough time finding it on retail shelves, and in a couple of years you won't be able to find it at all.
