stay away... far away........2002-06-13
stay away. that simple. go burn a cd. i wish i did. frozen machine and lost data. thanks for nothing iomega.
Use a USB port..........2002-01-31
This is slow to install, dificult to take anywhere, and slow to transfer info. Buy a USB connected ZIP or better yet, for this kind of money you should be able to get a CD-RW.
Better than nothing.......2000-11-05
I haven't had any problems like were mentioned in the other review. I like my 100 MB Zip drive. I bought it to back up some of my files and that's what it did. I've never used my Zip drive while I was printing. It is a bit slow but so is that 3.5" floppy sometimes. It's a good thing to buy when backing up files when you're short on money. My major complaint is the cost of Zip disks.
Keep it moving, people: there's nothing to see here.......2000-09-10
Though this is the somewhat legendary device Iomega made its fortune on, Iomega has happily moved on to bigger and better things. This is quite clearly the most inferior product still on their product list. It should be avoided by most all users. Unless you ONLY have a parallel port to use, there is absolutely no reason to buy this product.
The transfer rate on this device is abysmal. I mean, p a i n f u l l y slow. It's not too much of an exaggeration to say that old floppy disk drives seem faster. It's marketed as portable, but it's not, really. Oh, sure, you can take it to another computer, unhook that computer's printer, plug it into your Zip, plug the Zip into the computer, then reboot. But that's not really an acceptable definition of "portable" any more. "Portable" means that you plug it in and GO. Plus, the standard of portability with Zip drives is now that you can share between Macintoshes and PCs. You can't with this device. It's also comparatively heavy, with bulky, cumbrous parallel cables, so that the actual carrying of the drive is made clumsy.
Worse, because it's parallel, you might have to share the device with a printer. That's an ugly affair. Sharing a parallel port means you can't really use the Zip and the printer simultaneously-unless you ENJOY watching your system freeze for minutes. It's bad enough to mistakenly access the Zip drive while you're printing (pointing Windows Explorer to your Zip drive mid-print will throw your system into chaos sometimes) but it's nothing like the misery of trying to print a file from the Zip drive. Oh, you can get around it by transferring the file to your hard drive and printing from there. But sometimes you just forget-and end up smack dab in the middle of the molasses. When you get to this point, you might as well just reboot the system and move on with your life.
Even people using the device for simple backup will find this printer sharing business unwieldy. If your programs are set to auto-backup and you try to print across the time of an auto-backup, you'll be stuck, at least for a bit.
Oddly, the addition of the USB 100 to their product line hasn't moved Iomega to lower the price on this clearly inferior item. So there's not even a price break which might make it mildly recommendable.
Just stay away from parallel Zip drives. Far, far away.
Reliable.......1999-12-02
The zip drive offers plenty of storage space for backing up nearly anything. I use mine for backing up all my device drivers for my computers in case I format a hard-drive or one crashes. It sure beats downloading the updated drivers all over again! My zip drive has been running for 2 years without a glitch and right now the price is very reasonable because of the 250 megabyte version which can also read the 100 meg disks. Highly recommended. Only wish the USB version was available when I bought mine:(
Product Description
It's true, the Zip drive is so popular in the world today that it is becoming the primary way many people share their stuff. The way floppies used to be. But with a Zip disk, you've got more capacity and greater access speed. Each time you buy a 100MB genuine Zip disk, it's like adding 100MB to your hard drive, and you can add as many as you want. That's important for downloading stuff from the Internet or saving your cool creations. Regardless of what kind of files you create, a Zip drive gives you the capacity for now and for years into the future.

Still use the one I have in an old Gateway, perfect for transfering largish files when you don't want to burn a CD, and want to transfer to something that doesn't support a USB key drive.
