I would like to use either optical or magnetic removeable disk cartridge drives, and I was wondering if any were compatible. I looked at the FAQ, and it made no specific mention of cartridge drives, so I figured I'd ask the experts. I'm leaning toward disk cartridges because of the speed. I want an external SCSI cartridge drive so that we can plug it into other computers when it isn't being used on the FreeBSD machine. I'm going to need to backup up to 4GB, so I'd like to use the new MO drives that are good for 4.6GB uncompressed. In general, I'm looking for examples of what other people use for backups on their FreeBSD machines. Please email me or post responses if you deem them fit for general consumption.
