It would appear that many here aren't aware of the ORB drive. The following is a a quote from one reviewer and is why I'm interested in the drive, IF SuSE supports it. Lenz?
Thanks,

"The Castlewood ORB drive, uses 3-1/2" removable media that is virtually the same as that which makes up your PC's hard drive, with a capacity of 2.2 GB, more than any other product in its category. The company touts an impressive 12.2 megabytes per second maximum sustained data transfer rate, a considerably faster transfer rate than any removable media product available today. The Orb drive also boasts a substantial increase in reliability over it's competition, with an estimated MTBF (mean-time-between-failure) rating 50 percent better than other removable cartridge products. Since ORB removable media drives are actually true hard drives, they can outperform other removable media drives, such as; magneto optical, high-density floppies, optical DVD and tape. With a maximum sustained transfer data rate of 12.2 MB p/second, the ORB can readily record streaming audio and video. And there is no limit to the number of times an ORB disk can be recorded upon. The ORB also offers a random access feature, making disk data searches and retrieval quicker and easier."
