I have both running on an 8600. The zip is internal; the syquest is external.
The syquest drive is faster. Noticeably faster. I only use the Zip drive
when I have to,
or to archive files and stash them in a safe place for long-term storage.
Neither drive is what
anyone would call "fast," but the Zip is just plain slow. I have not had
any issues with regard
to reliability to report. They both appear to be reasonably reliable.
