Iomega31653 Zip 250 MB USB-Powered Starter Kit with 3 250 Disks

If you need an exterior Zip drive, you've found it. This is perfect for your every zip need. It is very small- not much wider then an actual zip disk. In addition, it comes with a rubber stand that can make it take up even less desk space by making it vertical. It is extremely light and therefore portable and easily plugs into your computer with a fast USB cable. There is no necessary installation either. Also, it is good to note that this is a good MB zip drive to get for two reasons- it can still take 100MB ones (the size smaller) and there is no real need for most to get a 700 MB drive (the size larger) because if you're dealing with that much information most people would use a CD instead and it is very hard to find a 700 MB disk. Also, take into account that this is a very good price especially considering it includes 3 disks- which can run $$$ each sometimes.

Still keeping the Zip drive, but I can't seem to contact Iomega to see if they have coordinated with Apple to get upgraded in order to use the drive. I have a few discs which I would like to see the pictures on same. Wish me luck.

This device, including the software to be used with the device, crushed 2 computers (1 laptop and 1 desktop) in which I tried to install it. Don't know if it the software was not compatible with Windows 10 or what. I had to use 'restore the system' in order to eliminate the software, and make my computers to work again. Hope if somebody had the same problem, will post any solutions to the problem, including recommendations for updating drivers, patches, etc. I still have several ZIP 100 disks unopened with important data to me.

You should be aware that 100 MB Zip disks are read and written VERY SLOWLY in this drive and I keep getting several errors when writing to a PC-formatted Zip disk on a Mac. This same information could be written from a Zip100 drive to the same disks with no errors. Just don't be fooled into thinking that the 250 is completely backwards compatible with 100 MB disks. There are limitations.

ok

Transaction was smooth and without any problems whatsoever. Received the mdse faster than was expected and was just as advertised. AAA1

EXCELLENT, PORTABLE, AND FAST. BEST OF ALL, NO EXTERNAL POWER REQUIRED, PLUG AND PLAY.EASY TO USE.

This is a neat little drive. The only reason I got this was because the new Macs don't come with built in zip drives anymore, and I have alot of data on zips. I didn't get the 750MB drive because the specs say it won't write to 100MB zip disks, which this one will.At first I was concerned with the funny noises I heard coming from this little drive (remember, my previous experience was a built in 100MB version). It took me a while to realize these were the same sounds that came from the old drive, only much much louder. I don't know if click of death is still an issue with Zip drives, but those noises sure had me worried at first.The portability is great, not only can you take the disks anywhere, but the drive itself is small enough to be transported easily. Simply unplug the thing, and you're good to go, it'll work on any computer with a built in USB port.Compatibility is another story. I've had no problem reading and writing to Mac100 zip disks. On PC100s and PC250s, disk access is much slower. That's why this is only getting three stars, instead of four or five.
