I've been using one for at least two years (on a High-speed SCSI card)
with very few problems.  It seems to get errors from time to time, but
that may be due to a faulty cartridge.

I was using it as my main drive for over a year.  I've gone back to my
old Rodime drive (69 MB but very slow) because I needed the extra
space and I was concerned about my main SyQuest cartridge's reliability.

The Rodime will be bumped off to my second machine once I can afford
to buy a new hard drive (I've got my sights set on a 240 MB Quantum).
