I love the Ecrix drives so much not only did I Buy two but I am also now a
reseller for them. I get about 36 gigs compressed on a tape but most of my
files are either stuffit or graphics files. Not much compression to happen
there. I get off a Adaptec 2940UW card an average of 140 megs/min across a
100baseT network.
I've had one drive replaced in 6 months but the good note is no hold time
for tech support, they advance fed-ex a new drive with a credit card number.
Overall I love dealing with the company. Go VXA!! So far it's been great. I
have already restored 3 full drives from vxa tapes. And my two drives handle
my seven Mac servers, 25 Mac workstations and three windoze boxes.
