I can't say either technology has been bad to me. I have found IDE and SCSI zip drives excellent for exchanging large amount of data between vintage and modern system. The LS240 drives are very reliable as well and I have not had any media issues. Plus, like Chuck said, they are so much faster than standard FDDs for regular floppy disks. -Ali
