I've got a 44MB Portable that I've been pretty happy with.  Bernoulli
now makes a 90MB setup (but not in the Portable, for some strange
reason).  There are a number of 'removable hard drive' vendors
(Bernoulli isn't really a hard drive -- it's a proprietary
technology).  I can't speak to the others, but I've been more than
happy with the quality of the product (5 year warranty on media, for
example) and the support (which I only needed to call once, to ask a
question -- the equipment itself has been flawless).

The one big drawback to Bernoulli is that they are somewhat more
expensive than other removable alternatives, from the prices that I've
seen.

I've been using them for 6 years. You'll be happy with it. Hard drives
international is selling a 90 meg drive with 2 cartridges for $400 - a
real good deal. I recommend getting the Bernoulli adapter for it but
its not necessary - the unit is fully SCSI compatible.

one.  I plan on using it as a hard drive, not as a mass storage device.

Yep they make a 90 MB portable (I have a 20MB internal - never a disk failure,
never a drive problem... disks are used heavily in a seasonal business)

Yup, I agree with the rest of what he said (they are very handy guys,
despite the price).
