Product Description
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) technology is the emerging standard for connecting anything to your computer. This state-of-the-art interface makes good on the long-touted promise of simple plug-and-play capability, moving beyond traditional limitations and annoyances of the SCSI or parallel port interfaces. Now, USB-equipped Macintosh and PCs running Microsoft Windows 98 can begin utilizing USB advantages available from the sleek translucent blue Zip USB drive.
Customer Reviews:
Hadn't used it for awhile ... and it died immediately........2007-11-04
My Zip 250 USB sat in a drawer, unused, for about four years. Plugged it in today, and got the Click Of Death. Thanks, Iomega! It was brilliant of you to design a gizmo that has NO MANUAL EJECT. Drive dies, disc is stuck, and there's no way to pop it out. Argh.
avoid at all costs.......2005-03-22
This is what happaned when I tried to use this drive on an otherwise stable Windows 2000 system:
The Iomega Tools installer demanded an immediate restart as soon as it completed.
The system hung on restart and had to be power-cycled.
A new item called 'active disk' appeared in the system tray on successful restart. There was nothing indicating it had anything to do with Iomega at all.
The Iomega entry on the Programs menu had nothing in it but a couple of web links ('help' and 'update').
I was able to read a pre-recorded Zip disk with no problems, however, when I tried to eject the disk (using the right-click menu item), Windows flung a bunch of panicked popups, yelling at me for disconnecting hardware without going through the "safely disconnect hardware" interface -- it basically acted as though I'd unceremoniously yanked out the USB cable while the drive was still spinning. Then it vomited up one of those always-delightful "Unrecognized exception" error popups, and promptly hung.
When I used this drive with an OSX system, every time I tried to eject a disk, the drive spun for over a minute before spitting out the disk.
This is all mysterious. I never had these kinds of problems with the SCSI Zip drives.
In any case, at $10 a pop, the Zip media format has been effectively eclipsed by writable CDs and DVDs.
Fast and reliable.......2001-07-16
I've got my Zip 250-USB running on a 1Ghz Pentium 3 with Windows ME and had no trouble getting it installed. Have not had any system locks, either. It's much faster than my old Zip 100 that ran on the parallel port, though the 250-USB reads Zip 100 disks with no problem (though slower than 250 disks). I'm using Iomega's Quik Sync back-up software and it's great to have it operating automatically in the background, without me having to remember to do it.
When I bought mine, the USB-powered version was not yet available, so mine uses an AC power adapter. The USB-powered version would be nice to have for running on my laptop.
Warning: Don't buy this miserable piece of crap.......2001-02-10
Do you like really slow, worthless drives that crash your computer and corrupt your data? Do you enjoy spending hours on hold waiting for someone at technical support to pick up? Do you like wasting hours reinstalling software that is filled with bugs? Do you like losing work because aback up system hasn't worked properly? If so you'll love Iomega products. Spare yourself hours of misery and much regret and buy something else, anything else but don't buy this miserable piece of crap.
Warning!!!! Slow, expensive, miserable service from Iomega.......2001-02-10
All you need to know is that this drive is expensive, slow and that service and technical help when it goes wrong from Iomega is utterly miserable. Avoid this product unless you like spending hours on hold or you like your technical help from incoherent morons. Avoid this like the plague.
