Bernoulli drives are awesome. The most reliable removable media I've ever come across. Didn't realize they made a 230MB version. The biggest I've seen is 150MB.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure you can treat it like a normal hard drive. No special mount lists required.

Bernoulli drives and disks are awesome. Easily the most reliable media I've ever used. I have never seen a Bernoulli disk or drive fail even after being kept in a damp musky basement for years. They're also a lot faster than the old MO drives.

If you already have the carts it's a great backup media (assuming you can deal with the relatively low capacities).

Flash drives are difficult to destroy through physical abuse, but I've heard that they're not incredibly reliable overall. Swapped backup hard drives aren't a bad solution (although a pain unless you use hotswapable externals i.e. USB and firwire), but I wouldn't trust old SCSI hard drives for backup purposes.
