Client had an internal SATA version and it wouldn't allow you to eject a mounted cartridge with the button or under program control because Windows didn't really think it was a removable drive. After lots of tinkering I run a script after the backup to deactivate the drive so the user didn't need to log in to the server just to eject the cartridge.

We're going to be changing out servers in our field offices, and the removable drive systems seem like a much more cost-effective backup solution for these small offices than a tape drive. We're also looking at a version of this system where we can have 2 drives, for one or two of our larger offices. Any input as far as personal experiences, ease of use, etc would be much appreciated.
