Summary: Excellent product
Review: Product worked out of the box without any setup using Windows XP. This is the way thing should be although the documentation was very thin. Good product from reliable manufacturer.

Summary: There are better choices available
Review: The ZIP 250 I've used for about a year is OK I guess but it's very slow and the "spin down" time when flipping back and forth between computers (which I do a lot) is quite long and sometimes it gets "stuck" and wont shut down on some of my Win2000 servers which is really annoying. Went out and got a Jump Drive 2.0 which holds 250 meg, is MUCH faster, more reliable and nicer to use... I'd recommend that - and DEFINITELY steer clear of the ZIP 750 - that thing is just awful - ended up sending it back after it locked my File Explorer on several computers. I notice Amazon doesn't even offer that, probably for good reason. The new "flash" media is a much better choice than these external drives.

Summary: Aviod All Iomega Products.
Review: I might have been one of the first people to ever purchase the Jaz Drive they sold years ago when it came out. I didn't have a good experience with that even though it was suppose to be the high end of their product line. But I still gave their Zip drives a chance because of how highly so many people have raved about their convience. So when I eventually purchased one I had problems with their Zip drives too. I believe it has been more than just bad luck. I suggestion if anyone wants mass storage they should get Compact Flash (CF) cards to use. These are solid state memory (meaning no moving parts) and much more durable and reliable then anything on the market at this time. They do cost more but these things are well worth it becuase if you travel around with a notebook computer like me you'll also see how little battery power CF cards drain your battery. If you choose this option the only other thing you need to get with your CF card is a USB CF card reader (which aren't expensive at all) and if you like to really save the power on your laptop you might want to also get a PC card adapter for your new CF card like myself. Then there is also the ability for you to use your CF card on other things like PDA's, Digital Cameras, etc. So you don't have to feel you have spent all this money and also limited yourself to only one use for it.

Summary: Horrible, Horrendus, Not worth the headaches
Review: We used this product with our Macs on our yearbook staff. We started out the school year with three...and it is only November, and they have all broken. They continually had problems with the disks, and then they would just die. It caused too many problems, and was not worth the hassle or the money.

Summary: What is this?
Review: This product is horrendous. After a few months it would crash my disks and then the drive itself eventually died. Zip disks as we all know are not [inexpensive] and the drive would continuously destroy them. This has cost me not only money but lost assignments and projects that were on the [disfunctional] disks. Iomega replaced my disfunctional drive with another one which ended up conking out on me as well. I use this drive also for my PC. I plugged it into my USB port then suddenly my computer wouldn't start. Once I unplugged the zip drive the computer started working again. ???? None of my other equipment that attaches to my USB ports does this.
Having this drive has been one disaster after another...

Summary: Unreliable product
Review: In spite of having previously owned a Zip 100 drive that succumbed to the infamous "clicking sound" and eventually stopped working altogether, I decided to try out the newer 250 MB model on the assumption that Iomega had probably overcome the technical glitches. No such luck! The drive began working erratically within 24 hours, and by the third day would only read the 250 MB disk in the dark (I'm not making this up), with no daylight or lamplight present. I sent the drive back and got a refund. Never again, Iomega!

Summary: Easy to set up and use!
Review: I have XP with my computer and I was so surprised how easy it was to install this Zip drive. Unboxed and had it upand running in minutes. No conflict with XP at all. Worked like a dream from the first moment I tried to save a file to it. Amazon's price was great for a great machine! (And the talking "I" icon on set up is good for laugh!)

Summary: Problems, Problems, Problems
Review: This ZIP drive worked fine for a while and then just ceased to function so I returned the drive to Iomega for a replacement. The ... unit that was sent worked "OK", at best, with occasional glitches (an especially annoying "churning" of the drive as it attempts to recognize the disk). This unit finally ceased to function as well, drive isn't recognized at all. I've given up and will search for another alternative to this product.

Summary: Unending Trouble with Mac
Review: This drive is WAY more trouble than it is worth. The drive won't come up on the desktop of my iBook and the iomega tech help barely speaks english. The help that they gave was worthless and I am seriously considering putting this piece of junk up on an auction site just to see the back end of it.

Summary: Good High Capacity Storage Choice
Review: This is a very good high capacity storage device. If you need lots of room, this will really do it ... and it's lightweight and portable.
