Summary: useful!
Review: a very useful thing to have, it works beautifully and was very easy to install, a must have it you are intending to format your computer and have to move all your precious files to disk!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Zip 100MB Drive
Review: good for home, but requires an electrical supply, so it's not very good for notebook computers and the mobile user.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Perfect except for support
Review: I have had my zip drive for a while now. I purchased the external type so I could swap it between my laptop and desktop. I use it to backup data along with having the capability to read disks that are sent to me by clients and workmates.

So far I have not had any major problems I could not work out with the zip drive. The one drawback I have found is that Iomega's Web site is not very clear at times.

Otherwise for me on both a Windows 98 and 2000 system it has been simple plug and play!

Summary: one good zip drive!
Review: I needed to be able to have a way to expand my hard drive, and the cheapest way was to get zip drive. It is fast and easy to install, it took me about two minuets. It works great!

Summary: Not the most elegant solution, but it does the job
Review: I've never found Zip drives to be very speedy, despite the name, but this particular drive is quite slow and quite loud.

However, in its defense, it is extremely reliable even though I've dropped it and knocked it over several times. It doesn't take up much space on my desk. It is so lightweight and flat that I can throw it in the pocket of my laptop case and take it anywhere.

The Zip disk has been a good solution for me in terms of sharing files between my desktop and laptop, and this drive is an adequate, reliable, affordable way to do that.

Summary: yep, works fine
Review: The price is right and it owrk.s what else is there to say?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Easy way to transfer large files between computers
Review: Very neat device! Works well with Win95/98/Me.You may have a slight installation problem with WinNT and Win2000 but fear not latest drivers are available on the manufactures website. Excellent for large data transfers between computers. CDR's and RW's are neat for music and data backup but Zip drives go a long way when transferring files.

Summary: Zip 100MB Drive
Review: Wow, I have been wanting one of these for quite a while, as a back-up/file transfer drive. The installation could not have been easier, with the USB connection. Using the drive is simple too, with just a copy and paste I was able to transfer many files from my hard drive in minutes. Definitely worth the price!
