Iomega eGo - stylish, affordable and shock resistant

Advantages: Good looking, small, lightweight, additional software included, can be dropped...
Disadvantages: Not the fastest in terms of file transfer

...Iomega eGo Portable Hard Drive, model 34615 I bought my Iomega eGo hard drive a few months ago. My laptop has only 40GB hard drive capacity and almost all of it was already used, which made it slower and slower and impossible to run some programs, updates or applications. I decided to buy a portable hard drive, easy to carry but most of all capable of storing all the content of my computer as well as many more files for the future. I had been searching for the ?perfect? portable drive for months and had only limited my choice to a few brands, when my friend (who knows much more about computers than myself) said: ?there are no good or bad portable hard drives among the affordable ones, so just choose the one that looks most sexy?. And so I did. Iomega drive not only looked good but also had a few interesting features and was...

Review of Iomega eGo Portable Hard drive 320 GB

Iadmire Iomega

Advantages: Sufficient storage, handy
Disadvantages: disks a bit expensive?

...The ZIP 100Mb may well be a bit dated but certainly has served me well in the 3 years I?ve had it. The lovely drive has been a vital part of my computer, without it I wouldn't be able to move from one PC to the next so freely; it?s just so convenient. Sure there are a lot of products out there that have higher capacities etc. But the ZIP is ideal for home or small business users needing to transport files or even small applications! The Internal ZIP is a bit tricky to install if you do not have knowledge of fitting such drives, but it's actual installation on the computer's hard drive is non-existent. You just plug and play! To date, it would be good to get one of these for a cheaper second hand price, as it is somewhat yesterdays technology, but full credit to Iomega's veteran drive, it does me proud....

Omega Iomega I love you

Advantages: HaLoads of storage space
Disadvantages: Annoying blue light

...I have had my PC for two years now and just recently I managed to fill my 80 GB hard drive up with rubbish. There was so much rubbish on it the hard drive was having problems reading the data. It was so full that I didn't even have enough free space to do a defragmentation of the drive. Anyhow with my birthday looming just around the corner my girlfriend said that I could have a new hard drive as an early present. I only wanted a 100 GB hard drive but after I had had a browse around I discovered that I could get the Iomega 250 GB external hard drive for the same price. The hard drive itself is silver and has a clear blue strip across the front. The Iomega logo is clearly embossed on the top and underneath there is four rubber feet. There is also two vents one each side to draw in cool air. Specifications: USB 2.0 Transfer Rate...

Iomega zip very useful and easy

Advantages: easy, quickly, and useful
Disadvantages: diskette expensive

...I use an external ZIP 100 Mo USB, it is a fast and reliable solution, as well for the backup. This operation is tiresome with the tapes whose reading is with sequential access, and I must say for my needs an unsuited choice. The reader Zip of Iomega proves to be of great utility. I have chosen the reader Zip USB 100Mo. a breakdown of hard disk, one does not need large thing, a simple variation of intensity of current can damage your hard disk. All those which have used data processing for a few years were confronted with the need for formatting (to erase all the data) hard disk; as much to be careful. I had personally many problems on my hard disk (virus in particular)a storage medium which is very well for a use, the more so as the data bases type textual file support a very high compression ratio of about 90...

Iomega Pro Hard Drive - triple interface is great

Advantages: Build quality, good brand, lots of connection choices
Disadvantages: Medium speed

...Storage is all important, whether you need it for your day-to-day work, or for backing up those important files, you can never have enough of it. A lot of users are now turning to off-site storage solutions, such as Amazons S3 service. However, if you need something fast and reliable, then there is no other option that a desktop hard drive. Iomega have been in this game for a long time. I remember with a warm glow, the day when the original Zip Drive was released. Wow, all that data on a tiny little disk, the size of a fat 3.5-inch floppy. Well, they kindly sent me there Professional Series Desktop Hard Drive, with triple interface to review. Offering up 500GB of storage, with USB 2.0, FireWire 400 and two FireWire 800 ports lined up across the back panel. It is also nice to see an on/off switch on the back too (many drives don't come...

Advantages: quicker than floppys, holds several hundread MBs of data, easy to carry around
Disadvantages: will need a zip drive, not all computers will have them

...INTRODUCTION For those of you who don't know what a Iomega Zip 250 USB Powered is, it is a portable storage device which accepts disks roughly double the thickness of a standard floppy disk. They store about 70 times the amount of data than a standard 1.44MB floppy disk does. The device is a small, lightweight and attractive looking device that can be easily placed near your computer without taking up much desk space. The good thing about the device is that it is powered from your computer's USB port and requires no additional mains plug or batteries. DISKS TO BE USED WITH THIS DEVICE There are various disks that can be used in the device. Only ZIP compatable ones though that can vary in size from 25MB, 100MB to 250MB. You will find that 100MB and 250MB are used now. The typical price of a 250MB disk is around £10, although as...

Iomega Zip USB Drive for Mac and PC

Advantages: Hassle free installation, neat manual
Disadvantages: None

...4. What you get I ordered the Iomega zip250 USB at PCMall via their web site (I own a little web directory and get some money back as an affiliate to them ;-))) One of the most convincing reasons to go for this device was the assortment. They got the device for all sorts of connections and platforms. I chose the one for USB that works with Win and Mac as I use both systems. Additionally the drive reads both 250MB and 100MB disks. The design is slick (although only available in one color) and the device is very handy (soft rubber at the sides for better grip if you want to hold it). Light-weight! Comes with a small stand to put in, very neat for small desktops and gadget lovers that have no space anymore. The item comes with a CD-ROM to install drivers from (including Mac) and another one with a manual (one of the coolest I have seen...

Iomega CD-RW

Advantages: Can burn music, pictures and other data
Disadvantages: Quite Slow

...This Iomega Rewriter is a good little piece of machinery, but it does takes it time when burning. Its supposed to take a few minutes to burn a music disc, although it took 20 minutes for an average length CD. ..:Installation:.. Installing the product will take the best part of 45minutes, it comes up with junk about not being compatatible with you operating system when it clearly is. Registering the product can be annoying as well because it asks for information you will not want to give (phone number, address etc.) ..: Burning CD's :.. Burning can take up to and around 20 mins for about 20 3 minute tracks. Selecting what you want put on the CD is a confusing process. As you have to individual copy and paste each song rather than clicking on it and getting it on the cd straight away. Its quite good of informing you of its status...

Review of Iomega CD-RW CD-RW drive

Iomega Zip - Very Reliable how would I live without it?

Advantages: 70 times as much storage as a floppy disk, use unlimited ammount of disks, access files on more than one computer, don't lose your work on rebuild.
Disadvantages: Not all computers have zip drives, disks cost around £7 each.

...I, not long ago had the problem many people face of a Hard Drive that just wasn't big enough. At school there were a few Iomega Zip 100 Parallel Drives, as I also needed to use my computer for school work it was the best choice. Not only is it helpful because of space but also if you want to use a different PC (e.g. a laptop or other computer), it means that all your files are avalible to you. It also helps alot if you need to rebuild your computer, formating your disk doesn't effect your files and if needed you can back up your files. I choose the parallel external version because I knew I might want to use it on different computers and not all of them have scsi or USB, although USB was not avalible when I brought mine. I use one disk continuasly and have done for around a year, it has all my school work and my website on and I...
