5.0 out of 5 stars
Great drive, best cost per MB and good speed, June 28, 2000
This review is from: Castlewood Systems ORB2UE01 2.2 GB External USB Removable Media Drive (Personal Computers)
This is a great drive. I just bought it and I'm already loving it. The installation was a breeze, literally plugged it in and my computer recognized it and installed the right drivers. ... I bought a SCSI cable for home which increases the speed even more (the USB port can't handle the 12.2 MB/s that the drive can put out). If you are running out of hard drive space or need to move big files around a lot, this is the drive for you. It is far superior to Zip or Jaz and the disks cost a lot less. At 2.2 GB ... your only cheaper alternative is tape which is going to be much, much slower.

Orb is Great as Frosted Flakes, June 9, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Castlewood Systems ORB2UE01 2.2 GB External USB Removable Media Drive (Personal Computers)
Just got the Orb USB for my laptop and its great. Immediate 2.2 gigs of space and its removable. For anyone who needs extra drive space for backing up or whatever, this is a great deal. I play my movies off the thing and its just like a hard drive. No skipping or anything. I plan to use it to store all of my MP3's and video media that I have. So far I havn't had any problems with it. I'm quite happy with my new Orb. Its a far better deal than Zip drives. Much more storage at a cheaper price. Its a deal and a half.

One the best "extra" storage drives bar none!, September 25, 2000
This review is from: Castlewood Systems ORB2UE01 2.2 GB External USB Removable Media Drive (Personal Computers)
I have been for several weeks a very proud owner of Orb (Castlewood Systems) external drive USB with a room for back up of an amount 2.2GB! I mean, I can really now back up items on the same disk that would have required several 100MB disks or even 250MB disks, not to even mention timy 3-1/2 squirts. And the beauty of it? You don't need a SCSI connection or parallel connection - it's a very convenient USB connection. Having more USB goodies, I have it connected to multi USB hub. Count the bytes & you'll discover how cheap it is in dollars per bytes to have Orb 2.2 GB. Well, I cannot praise it enough but I have to congratulate Castlewood Systems! That company surely made my day in a big way! Carl Hodek
