I'm looking for at least 4 GB uncompressed capacity at a street price for the unit (not necessarily including interface card) around $375. What models have you had good experiences in installing, operating, and with its technical support among those in the market. I've never bought a tape drive for a PC. Though, I'm experienced with the major PC peripherals regarding installation and configuring. The system is an Intel Pentium 200 MHz with 32 MB. Windoze space is a little over 5 GB and FreeBSD space is about 1.8 GB. I do have plans of increasing disk space with another disk to allow keeping uptodate with FreeBSD-Stable.
