I bought the Supra 150MB (QIC-150) drive for use with my 3000. Total price, including separate cabinet, power supply, one tape, cable & Supra's backup software was $799.00, which seems reasonable. It was all zero trouble to install and works exactly as advertised. The BTN SCSI tape handler works, so I can also use Amiga tar. (It's on one of the libraries somewhere!) Backup takes about 8 minutes for a partition with 32 MB of data. You should consider this one as well; if you have a 2XXX model, it would fit the 5.25" bay and would be cheaper than mine.
