I'll second this recommendation.  I'm using the 4 GB SCSI internal version
of that drive (at the time, it was a Conner CMS 3200, but Seagate only
changed the name) for over 2 years with absolutely no problems.  It uses QIC
3080 cartridges, which are a bit hard to find in Japan, but T-Zone sells
them, as well as selling the current 8 GB flavor of the drive.  As Felix
mentions, unless you must have DAT, this is a fast, reliable, and cheaper
alternative.
