I agree. We use the Idealstor 8 Bay and it is far better than the tape system we relied on before. We have a rotation of 500GB disks for our daily,weekly and monthly. We kept our old tape drive around to run backups from the 8 Bay to our tape for our annual archive.
Interesting comments. We have been using the 400GB Deskstars for about 1 year and they work just fine. We have 50 of them that we use with our backup server (www.idealstor.com) and we rotate the drives on a daily/weekly basis like we used to with tape. I am still waiting to get my hands on the 500GB's to test them out.
We may be looking at getting some of the Seagate drives with the 5 year warranty because i have heard good things about them as well.
