Another important point: Syquest shut down as of 11/4 [see
http://www.anchordesk.com/a/ad1tlt1104nk/2720 ]. According to the limited
info they are thinking of filing for Chapter 11 but as their site is down I
don't know any more. So support is a big, BIG question mark.
I have never used the SparkQ drive so I can not speak of their quality but
with the company on it's death bed, I would suggest to look else where for
the hardware.
