 Zip 100 Drive from rbushka November 14, 2008
Winston (Kentucky)
The Zip 100MB USB Drive was received very shortly after I ordered it and has been working well for over a month now. The item delivered was exactly what I thought I was ordering. The item was easy to install, just followed the written instuctions with it, (I'm not a computer type, if I can do it anyone can).
I ordered the Drive on 10-01-08 based on knowledge of the product, what was advertised, price quoted AND VENDOR'S RATING. It was received via UPS withing 7-9 calendar days.
I'm very happy with the product, price paid and service received from vendor. I will purchase from vendor again if he has a product I'm looking for.
 Misplaced "Faith" May 5, 2008

We have been told to constantly get documents out of our hard drives and onto external storage units: floppies, zip floppies, CDs or flash drives. I believed in that "wisdom" and faithfully followed it. Well, regular floppies have disappointed me badly (yes, some made by Iomega) and now, after over five years of use my Iomega 100 MG zip drive has gone. Without warning, it started showing document icons, but wouldn't open them. Next, the drive refused to even recognized an inserted zip floppy. So, now, as of April, 2008, I have lots of documents I can't get to. And, I hear, Iomega no longer makes this 100 MG drive--I've tried to purchase it new, but have been unsuccessful. Yes, a CD or flash drive is the way to go. But, if computer history is any lesson, even those CDs and flash drives will prove unfaithful to us in time. So, maybe we should double-backup our documents!
SOME restored faith: I learned that Iomega's 250MG external zip drive will work with 100MB zip floppies. Yes, I just bought one and it works fine, but for how long? So, I'll still transfer everything on the 100s elsewhere...just in case.
Used it to transfer data to WIndows Vista April 4, 2008

I purchased this after discovering that I had old digital pictures stored on 100 MB zip disks. I used it to successfully transfer contents of the disks to my new computer with Windows Vista. I wasn't sure it would work with Vista (I have read that the zip drives with parallel ports do not work with Vista). Based on previous reviews I did not install the software, I simply plugged it into my USB port and transfered them. Exactly what I needed and I received it in 3 days.

I never received the product that I ordered. After about 6 days after the order was placed, I received a call that this product had been discontinued.
This product should work well on older operating systems... January 9, 2008

Doubtless this product would have gained a 5 star rating had I not found it necessary to return the product to the seller, unused. I strongly recommend obtaining detailed system compatibility information prior to purchase of any Iomega product in order to avoid the challenge of communicating with Iomega customer support.
