We use a Sony DDS-4 tape drive with excellent results. It is fast and

dds-4 (and dds-3 for that matter) are much more reliable than dds-2. I've
been using a Mammoth ex8900, however, and find it to be more reliable than

I've got the Sony DDS4 with an APS enclosure. Ever since Dantz updated their
drivers (shortly after the 4.2 update) all has been good.
