Iomega 32328 Zip 750 MB ATAPI Drive Reviews
Very reliable. Who keeps the receipt for an cheap disk. Never mind that the disk has a five year warranty. The other reviewers are right. Had to call them, because the website support sucks.
And this was not the first one to die on me. I have been using them for years. Not so reliable in my experience. As dead as the disk.
Suffices to say, this is where my 10 year old relationship with Iomega ends. The zip format is very convenient. Hardware failure. No sir. Very friendly they were, but they would not replace the disk. Gone was my "convenient" back-up.
I used to mail the 100mb disks overseas in just an envelope without a problem. When I back up data, I expect the media to be reliable. I had a brand-new Zip 750mb disk die on me in the last few weeks. Within a few minutes, it was so badly corrupted that MS Windows could not format or even see the disk.
(I am talking about the disk, not the drive. I had to produce the proof of purchase. So I contacted the Iomega support people. Well, the 750mb disk format has not even been out for five years, so that request defies logic.
The 750mb. Without the disk, the drive is worthless).
But if you simply want to a temporary backup (and I always backup the novel I am writing after even the smallest modification), you can't beat the speed of a Zip. Yes, for an archive of files you a CDROM might be better. CD burn programs require several minutes to make a backup. Hit the button and it pops out in a half second. The advantage of the Zip drive over a CDROM is the shorter time it takes to make a backup. Also the Zip 750's response time is much faster than the Zip 250. A Zip drive a few seconds - drag and drop.
now they have 250MB 100MB and they jumped to the 750MB wich hold 50MB more than a cd it was easy to install and setup and use and afordibale for those who don't have 400$ for a DVD-RW.
