[I'll take a second attempt for an answer.]

These devices are IMHO no good choice. They are slow, unreliable and not
durable. And the medias are much more expensive like e.g. DAT or Exabyte
tapes. So you should consider spending some more money for an SCSI
streamer which you will regain sooner or later by saved mooney and time.
