Manufacturer's product description
Since 1980, the AST brand name has been known as a leading manufacturer of technology products for consumers and businesses throughout the world. Today, AST continues to evolve to keep pace with the rapidly changing computer industry. AST offers you this internal 100MB zip drive.
Advantages: Fast, easy to use, well spread Disadvantages: Poor Mb/£ value, and relative speed.
...I have owned a Internal SCSI Zip100 for three years, used initially for back-up purposes, but now generally is used for large image work as temporary storage, but I used it for downloads as some computers at college had ZipDrives, and this is was extremely useful with there is a very fast connection on tap. Now the ZipDrive has almost become unused now, as I have DVD/CDRW now, which is used for large amounts of data archiving of around 4Gb.

Advantages: Fast data transfer Disadvantages: Pricy device
...I am using the Iomega Zip 250 via USB for my work and I really like this storage device compared to the earlier one, the 100MBZip which I find it insufficient at times.

I rate the Iomega Zip 250 as one of the best portable storage device that Iomega has ever designed....

Advantages: CD writers are a lot more efficient Disadvantages: zip drives are slow
...If you're shopping for a new zipdrive, seriously reconsider to get a CD RW drive instead! Zipdrives are slow and don't have much space in them! Also, if you're transporting it to someone else's house, they have to have a zipdrive to use your zip disk and not every one has them! But CDs are pretty much universal for every computer. Even the zip disks cost a lot more than just getting CDs for your CD-RW. So the way things are going, eg getting cheaper you'll be a lot better buying a cd writer....
