I've been using Syquest drives for nearly 10 years now. Started with a
44MB, then a 105MB, Now a SyJet. I've never had a problem with any of
them. I only use the SyJet for Backups, but it works flawlessly for that
(Carts are too expensive, though). The others I use all the time --
switching them on and off with the carts in and so on.

Main problem is that Winoze doesn't handle removable media very well.
(Same problem with my external Fixed Drive -- Windows gets ferschimmled
when I take the laptop elsewhere.)
