<P>How about an external hard drive! It is faster and has other uses. I use a Zip for projects (100, 250, and a 700) and a firewire 40 G for operateing system (New, on sail, was $50). TDN has a Seagate Scsi (8 G) tape for less then $200. At that price I'ed go for the hard drive. Switch boots from one drive to the other and then recover to the other drive!
