I've just got an internal USB2 HP DAT 72 drive. I'll be spitting the  
first tape out
of it at the end of the week, then daily after that so I'll be able  
to tell you
how long a ~25gig write, then verify takes next week if it's any help.

The drive installs fine on FC6 (following the instructions for RHEL4  
from HP)
so I presume it would work fine on Centos 4. After installation the  
drive
appears as /dev/st0

Regards,

Paul
