The Sony SuperStation 10GB
Tape Drive is inexpensive, portable, and reliable. With this
tape drive you can back up your entire system, store extra files, or
download from the internet. It's setup is fast and easy with a very
quick and simple one touch backup. Had this reviewer had this device
before his system crashed he would have saved a lot of time and
headaches re-formatting his system
and reinstalling all of his programs.
