How's it goin everyone?

I'm trying to decide on what would be the best way to go as far as saving data. should I purchase either a 250mb (or 100) scsi zip drive or should i get an external scsi hard drive like this:

what are the pros and cons of both? what do you guys recommend?

Thanks in advance.

You should stay away from moving parts when possible.

I recommend and use one of these with my Triton:

No moving parts, when a CF Card fills up I just put in another.

very interesting. i never thought about using a flash drive. would i have to update the o.s. on the triton in order to use that though??

thanks for your response.
