Does your system crash and invalidate your harddrive often? Do you push alot
of files around? Tired of sluggish Zip disks? Need a little more drive space?
If so you might like it.

Its commercial, you have to pay the <bleep> at GREED for a copy then deal with
the serial number nuisances. Both one time things really.

Some others may point out SFS. A free filesystem with similar functionality.
It seems to always be in beta status, but many people are happy with it it
seems.
Your choice.

68030 chips aren't at the pinnacle of CPU technology (though they're pretty
nice as far as straightforwardness goes), that might not be it though.
I'd check termination, drive/stub/cable spacing/lengths, SCSI modes like
synchronous transfers and disconnect/reselect (might cause SCSI lockups
though, enable with caution, but at least test of they help if not already
active).
I'm sure there are more suggestions, its just too early for me. If you search
online you could probably find the general tolerances for the different
implementations of SCSI.
