With all this said I still have some terribly unreliable SyQuest drives in
use as secondary backups. I have multiple extra SyQuest drives available in case of a drive failure and a many extra carts.
SyQuest was an embarrassment to the industry.
While Iomega and other removable media manufacturers used primary platters for their devices, SyQuest used factory seconds... They bought them in bulk from companies like Quantum. Platters that had too many errors to be usable in their hard drive products...
