100 MB USB Zip Drive

It worked once for me and then the trouble stated.It would accept drives or if it did I had a lot of trouble getting it to release the drive.I took all of my zip drives to a computer with an internal zip drive and down loaded everything to a pocket drive and transfered the material to my main computer.The drive is sitting on my junk shelf.I do have a couple of scuzzy (sic) drives that I might get to use if I can find a scuzzy to usb or firewire adapter.I can't recommend the drive.This is the second...

Iomega USB-Powered Zip Drive a Workhorse

I bought this drive in 2002 and plugged the usb connection into my Windows 2000 Desktop, powered up my computer, and voila it installed itself.I did not install any software that came with it. I DO NOT recommend installing their software.Read on:I also have an Iomega Parallel Zip Drive connected to a laptop with Windows 98.I made the mistake of installing the software that came with it.It has consistently given me error messages. The first time I use it to either copy to or from it works fine.After...

Home User

Boy am I sorry I ever bought this item.As mentioned by another user - it lasted less than 2 years - then it started to destroy any zip disk you attempted to write to.When I contacted customer service - instead of admitting they had a problem - I got - it sounds like maybe your drive is damaging your disks.You are out of warranty - but for $55.00 or so we will send you a reconditioned one with a 120 day warranty - and you pay for shipping.Forget it - save your money - buy a flash drive from Sony...

It used to work

Like the other reviews, the zip drive was great.I bought the external one after having an internal one on an old desktop for years.Never had a problem with the internal one.The zip drive started not loading within a year of buying.It was technically under warranty, but customer service told me otherwise.Kept calling them, even after sending them a copt of my warranty and the only help they offered was to send me new disks.Sometimes the zip drive would work, sometimes it wouldn't until it finally...
