Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description The Iomega REV 70GB USB 2.0 Backup Drive with Removable Disk is the perfect storage solution for those needing a reliable and fast backup system with unlimited expansion. REV disks are based on proven hard disk technology, offering up to ten times the speed and half the price of many tape systems; files can be retrieved in seconds rather than minutes as compared to linear tape drives.
The disks themselves are small but rugged, inflexible and non-scratchable hardy units. REV's lightness enables you to carry your data wherever you go. When you run out of space, expanding storage requires nothing more than putting in a new disk when one is full. Password protection allows for secure encryption of confidential data. And after you have made backups, you can store the disks off-site for added security.

 REV disks use the same technology as hard drives. View larger. |
Installing the REV 70 Backup Drive is as easy as plugging in the USB cable; it appears as a standard drive letter on your computer and doesn't require any maintenance or cleaning. Included with the drive is EMC® Retrospect® Express Backup and Disaster Recovery software. There is a 3-year warranty on the drive and a 5-year warranty on disks.
What's in the Box
REV 70GB USB Drive, REV 70GB disk (with plastic case and disk labels), USB cable, power supply, quick start guide, Solutions CD containing REV system software, EMC Retrospect Express Backup, and HTML user manual.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Drive is not compatible with Roxio Easy Media DVD burning software ...,
By
This review is from: Iomega REV 70GB USB 2.0 Backup Drive with Removable Disk - 33376 (Personal Computers)
This drive may work correctly for you if you have no DVD/CD burning software on your computer. I had Roxio (Sonic Solutions) Easy Media 8 on my PC, and it made it so that I could not eject nor format a REV disk, nor could I detach the drive without blue-screening (BSOD) my Windows 2003 server. I tried this on 3 separate systems (2 servers, one Windows XP). All Iomega customer support (3 individuals there) would do was to finger point and make me do all the testing (uninstall software, uninstall drivers, try this, try that). They could not tell me what DVD burning software would coexist on a PC with an attached USB 2.0 REV 70 GB drive. They (and this was more than one customer support person at Iomega) explained that it's not their job to test their products with other software. They suggested that I buy Nero or other DVD/CD burning software to see if they caused the REV drive to not work correctly. Why should this compatibility testing be my responsibility?Come on Iomega! Roxio (Sonic Solutions) is one of the top 2 or 3 DVD/CD burning products in the world. You produce a product that is not compatible with that software and it's my responsibility to work that out with Sonic Solutions? (They told me that I had to contact Roxio to find out why their software makes the REV drive fail and get Roxio to fix it). My machine, which has been stable for over a year, began blue screening after I installed the REV drivers and this product. I thought the days of finger pointing and poor customer service were long gone.

1.0 out of 5 stars
REV drive not compatible with Vista Disaster Recovery,
By
This review is from: Iomega REV 70GB USB 2.0 Backup Drive with Removable Disk - 33376 (Personal Computers)
I attempted to store a backup from Vista Complete PC Backup & Restore on the REV drive and received the error message "Media is not UDF". Storing a Disaster Recovery Image is the reason I purchased the drive. The drive is excellent for straight copying of files, but is not good for use with third party software. I talked to a Tech. support Rep., and he gave me the usual run around, saying if files can be copied to it, the drive is fine. They said I should call Microsoft.

Not best device in its class,
By
This review is from: Iomega REV 70GB USB 2.0 Backup Drive with Removable Disk - 33376 (Personal Computers)
I suspect most problems people have with rev drives are caused by Iomega's idiotic decision to pretend to be an optical device. This is obviously going to screw with cd/dvd burning software, and doesn't bode well for backup software that isn't best buddies with Iomega. Aside from this, it reads and writes just as good as any other removable hard disk device. For the exorbitant cost and miniscule space, there are better options.
