When you mean that the optical disk is slow, how much so? I understand that you probably wouldn't want to use it as a swap drive, but I would think that it would have to be better than tape. (My local dealer just tried to sell me on that very drive.) I was thinking that I could save the rendered images on it though and then dump them to video directly off the optical disk. If I buy a larger fixed drive, I know I will fill it up and have the same problem no long from now. Coupling it with a tape might work though. Are there any disadvantages to the HP tape drive over the Exabyte?
