Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good large capacity storage option
Review: Imation's Superdisk was designed to directly compete with the Iomega Zip drive. Both carry comparable ~120MB per disk capacities. The Superdisk has one very large advantage: it can also read normal high density disks (at very high speeds). It also has one very large disadvantage: no one uses them. Consequently, Superdisks have become more of a personal backup medium than a universal exchange medium. These days, it is nearly possible to give a Zip disk to someone and assume that they will have a drive. You cannot say the same thing for Superdisks. Nevertheless, Superdisks have their niche. For example, the speed of Superdisks is far greater than traditional floppies. If you have archived substantial numbers of high density disks (as I have), then it is definitely worth it to thumb your nose at both traditional disk drives and the zip drive and just go with the Superdisk. After all, how many times do we really send a colleague a disk as opposed to a hard copy or an electronic message? Today, we need a medium that can hold large amounts of information to fulfill our everyday internet needs. Imation's Superdisk fits these requirements quite nicely!

Summary: Superdisk una gran opción
Review: Soy dueño de un superdisk de primera generación y pienso que es una solución práctica para compartir información. se puede llevar a la oficina, a la casa, viajar con el, es cómodo para utilizarlo y como medio de respaldo de información es muy útil.

Tambien la alta capacidad de los disco sirve para librar de archivos inncesarios el disco duro, es una buena opción para los downloads de internet.

Summary: The Imation Superdisk drive is ok if you're patient
Review: When I got the super disk external drive, I was expecting it to be similar to the zip disk drive located in my PC. Well, the superdisk does hold lots of info, but it's slow, and incredibly noisy. If you leave the disk inside the drive and you're not using it, it will still make tons of noise every time you open an application and makes opening the application slower. However, if you don't mind noise that could wake a family member or a little slowness, it might be great for you.
