removable hard drive in a cartridge jobbie? USB/Firewire harddrive.

OK so these are very expensive 'tapes', but depending on the cycle, it may
work for you.

+No - read the original and subsequent postings. DAT in any form is an
+expensive drive/cheap tape system. As I don't want many tape, I
+want a cheap
+drive/expensive tape system, like Travan, and I'm looking for any
