Iomega Does it Again!

By J. Morgan on August 12, 2001

The Iomega Zip 250 USB-Powered Starter Kit is excellent and a great value. The new powered zip drive is a breeze to install. Just load the software, attache the cable, reboot, and wha-la!! The drive installed immediately on my Win98SE Gateway laptop, with Win98 recognizing the drive and loading its drivers immediately. It is intuitive to use with the Iomegaware 2.8 software (the primary zip application) and creates another drive in your computer. You can drag and drop to your heart's content! I found no difficulty with compatibility at all, as did one reviewer - but perhaps going from PC to MAC or vice versa (as he/she apparently did) does cause problems. The only minor drawback I see is that it is a little noisey. I don't even notice that its particularly slow using older zip 100 disks, but I'm comparing it to a zip 100 parallel - now that's slow! Great product!!

Zip 250 MB USB-Powered

By S. Livingston on December 12, 2002

Verified Purchase

Product worked well for about 6 months. Eventually it got slower and slower until it no longer would read any diskettes. Called the company and they said the drive was out of warranty and would cost $80.00 plus tax and shipping to fix it. I only had the drive for about 14 months and didn't even use it very much. IOMega refused to make any type of concession. Well they just lost a customer over their cheap dealings.

ZIP 250MB Starter - 3 U250 Disks not included

By A Customer on January 2, 2003

This starter kit doesn't contain the U250 disks (10 year guarantee), but the regular 250 MB zip disks (5 year guarantee). I am sending 2 kits back today. Iomega quit making the U250 Zip disks. Someone at Amazon knows about the problem, but the website has not been updated. Don't waste your time !

Superb!

By sherman-nyc on June 4, 2002

I needed an external drive in a hurry, and initially turned to external CD burners. However, after reading numerous reviews across a variety of sites, it quickly became obvious that none of the external burners were up to the task. According to reviews, most of them (HP 8000 series, Iomega Predator, etc...) suffered from reliability problems, and to exacerbate the matter further, transfer speeds were reportedly slow. Hence, in desperation, I turned to other forms of storage. To my delight, Iomega's Zip 250 USB drive has performed excellently! I haven't had a chance to test out the firewire capability, but all I can say is that I am extremely pleased with its USB performance! I have successfully transferred all my files from my work computer (running on Windows NT) to my home computer (running on Windows 98), and there have been no software or reliability issues at all. Good going, Iomega! Now, if only they could pull their stock out of the pits........

Great buy

By Amazon Customer on June 9, 2001

I bought one of these a few months ago, it was one of the best decision I ever made haven't regretted it. I use it with both my PC and notebook with the same satisfactory result. It's fast to the save every time, and comes with pretty imteresting tools. Comparing a floppy to the Zip250, is like comparing a 50's Studabaker to a 2001 Mercedes.

This is a great drive

By A Customer on January 30, 2002

I just got this drive and I love it already. It installed in seconds. Just load the software, and plug in the drive with the USB cable. No power cord needed! The drive is very lightweight and compact. I had a Parallel Zip, and this drive is MUCH faster. This is a great drive!

It's Little, It's Blue and it Zips too!

By Carlos G. Diaz on February 23, 2002

I have had my USB Zip 250 for year and it is great, its easy to use and easy to carry. The USB powered drive makes it great for any PC and Laptop and can be easily removed from any PC you need to grab data. The problem with 100MB is ok but another issue might come laptop users who don't plug their laptops in. Not to mention that this drive is useless on any PC older then 4 years that lack USB. Overall a darn good product from the people who made high capacity drives so simple.

This is a great product!

By Amazon Customer on December 30, 2001

It works very well and the only problem I found is that I can't perform the "one step backup" using an usb hub. I have to connect the Zip drive directly to the computer.

What you're looking for

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. Read more

Almost Great

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. Read more
