Advantages: Good temporary storage space
Disadvantages: No real need to upgrade from the zip 100

There's little doubt that the Iomega Zip drive is now the market leader in removable storage devices, ahead of its nearest rivals the LS-120 and Sony's HiFD drives. However the Zip's 100MB of storage has started to seem a little miserly given that the demand for capacity continues to rise - driven in part by the increasing use of graphics, video and sound files on the Internet and company-wide intranets. But the new Zip 250 has leapt ahead of its ...
...easy to see why the Iomega Zip drives are so popular. They are easy to set up, easy to use and they offer good all-round performance at a reasonable cost. If you already have a Zip 100 there's no need to upgrade, unless of course you do find that 100MB is not enough. On the other hand, if you're looking for a new sub-gigabyte removable storage device then this is the one to go for. ... Read review

Advantages: Great optical drive
Disadvantages: Only for macbook air

...is only compatible with the Apple Macbook Air Notebook. (This is because the USB ports that Apple have used are designed to put out more power than is normally possibly, this is why the Superdrive has no need for a power supply of its own). When you buy this product this is what you get - 1) MacBook Air SuperDrive with attached USB cable 2) User's Guide Doesnt seem like much but that is all you need, the absence of a power supply of its own means ...
...so if you have other Apple Notebooks dont buy it, if you have just the Air this is for you. On the upside though Apple certainly stick to form when it comes to the look of the drive, slick, simple and compact as usual. Great looker. And it works beautifully and does exactly what you expect it to. I think they should have designed the drive to work with other machines as well. The actual fact is I think they should have spent more time designing ... Read review

Advantages: Very reliable, fast
Disadvantages: it's one huge brick, heavy, form facor

...this dvd burner proves that iomega can still make rock-solid and very reliable devices! Although it's huge and needs to draw external power, this unit has a sturdy feel and great reliability. If you're looking for a nice external dvd/cd-burner to acompany your design laptop or mac, on-the-go, forget about this one. If you're looking for an external drive to use at home (or office), that doesn't need to be highly portable, look no further! I've tried ...
...so solid, both in use and build, as this one. This is a desktop class burner on-the-go. Since day one, the super dvd never failed writing a single cd or dvd. That breaks the former record of my powerbook AND my current macbook pro! It's a great device for it's price. This is also a nice alternative for replacing a broken internal drive, since they tend to be quite expensive for laptops. There's a lot of smaller drives out there, but either they are ... Read review
