I'd like to be able to back up a 18 GB drive. I've looked at TRAVAN and at DAT. Besides the speeds should I be worried about anything? As price is a major concern, the Travan 20 GB SCSI drives look great, but has anyone had any issues using these in a BSD box? Both the Seagate and HP drives does not say that BSD is supported (but then again, most things that are don't say they are). Is anyone using these? Any other recommendations?
