Well, they say they resist a lot better to accidental falling; I never looked


you seriously underestimate normal cheap hard disks :)

of course they will fail when hit WHILE WORKING, but when turned off they 
can stand REALLY a lot.

I installed one of these recently under CentOS and it
worked exactly as a SATA disc. Its more convenient
than plugging data / power every day and looks more
professional when used for customers servers.

the only true argument. if they like to pay more and You sell it - very 
good.



for SATA disks - use e-SATA connectors or USB-SATA bridges

i don't see a reason it should not.


Although they are HD, they are sold as tape replacement.
I was told they are seen as tapes and last time I checked only SCSI tapes 
were supported by FreeBSD.


The whole thing might however not hold and they could be seen for what they 
are: just hard disks.


This is another good question...




anyway - it's cardridges are more expensive than ordinary hard disks - 
doesn't make sense.


On the cost you are right; they justify this with higher reliability.
Whether this is true or not, I don't know.

Has anyone been using the above (either USB or SATA)?
Do they work with FreeBSD?
