Check out RDX cartridges @ Quantum. The Addonics stuff is made to be very inexpensive.

I’ve read a few threads on here regarding alternatives to tape, but haven’t really found what I’m looking for. Right now, several of my clients are using a removable drive system from Addonics called the Ruby Drive Cartridge System (http://www.addonics.com/products/ruby/ruby_dcs.asp). This system is nice because it connects via esata or usb and uses 2.5” harddrives as the storage medium. Backups are very fast through esata. Our fileserver backs up about 140GB in about 35 minutes with this system using cheap 500GB drives. The only problem with this system is the manufacturing quality and consistency. I’ve gotten a few cartridges that won’t plug in properly to the cradle, and others don’t slide in and out smoothly. It really seems like it’s cheaply made. Are there any other removable drive systems out there that use 2.5” drives like this? I’m really surprised that I have not been able to find a higher quality system than this one.
