Removable drives have a higher chance of getting physically damaged compared to a non-removable harddrive because they are carried around, even if it is only within one room. And if I compare the (old) SQ5110 to the newer and more compact Zipdrive, the Zipdrive wins easily.
Yeah, that is true.
Myself, I use DLT for backups, CD-R for stuff that needs to be easily accessible and CD-RW for moving large bits of data between non-networked computers.
Personally I'm glad that I don't have to use thin magnetic pieces of plastic regularly.. DLT goes in that category, but it isn't random access and the tapes aren't in use all the time, so it has a good probability of being readable when I badly need that restore. :-)
