Imation SuperDisk LS-120 (SuperDisk) drive 120 MB

Advantages: Their cheapness
Disadvantages: None I have found

.... These discs are for one-time recording only, but you can get the re-writable discs too. They are certified to handle recording at up to 48x speeds, for use with a Windows PC or Apple Macintosh computer that has a CDR or CDRW drive installed. They store 700 mb of data and are excellent for those text files, photos and mp3's, with 80 minutes of storage to a disc. Why would you want to buy a branded name at a much higher cost to yourself, when these are excellent value for money and are just as reliable? Also they offer a lifetime warranty on them,offering to replace any that are faulty. But I have never had to test that yet. I hope I don't need to. All the time they keep making these nice little discs, I will stick with them, and continue to pass the word around to friends about them. Imation make a full range of recordable and rewritable CD...

Advantages: good portable storage
Disadvantages: bit expensive compared to a cd writer and media

...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 rivals, offering 250MB of storage, over 50MB more than Sony's HiFD super-floppy drive. Like its predecessor, the Zip 250 is available in a variety of flavours, both internal and external, and with a choice of interface. The most popular of these will probably turn out to be the external drive, which is currently available with either a parallel port or a SCSI connection to the PC. A USB... Read review
