Iomega 10919 Zip 100 Drive (Parallel Port)

Iomega 10919 Zip 100 Drive (Parallel Port) Review



Iomega 10919 Zip 100 Drive (Parallel Port) Feature

  • Complete backup and restore utilities
  • Supports 100 MB Zip disks
  • Parallel interface
  • Portable, external design
  • Maximum sustained transfer rate of 1.40 MB/sec
Is your hard disk running out of room? Do you need to protect your valuable data? Consider Iomega's Parallel Port Zip 100 drive, an inexpensive and portable external disk drive.

Iomega says it has sold over 100 million of its 100 MB Zip disks, the floppy companions to the Zip 100 drive, and we believe them based on how easy it was for us to set up and use the Zip 100. We just plugged it in, connected a cable to our PC's parallel port, dropped in the CD-ROM, and followed the setup wizard.

The CD-ROM comes with the necessary software to make the Zip 100 act like any other drive on your PC--except the Zip 100 has a 100-MB storage capacity. We set the drive up on our test machine and copying files to and from drive F was just as easy as it was on drive A or C.

You can still use your printer with the Zip 100, as the external drive includes its own parallel port. Iomega recommends that you connect no more than one additional device to the Zip 100, but in our test, we "daisy chained" three peripherals--a printer connected to a scanner connected to the Zip 100 connected to our PC--without encountering any device conflicts.

We used the included 1-Step Backup and 1-Step Restore utilities to back up and restore several hundred megabytes of an old Pentium's hard disk. The process was entirely intuitive and flawless but slow. We did not even approach the claimed 25-MB-per-minute performance, but that's just the way peripheral life is when you're using a parallel port.

The Zip 100 is self-contained, and if you take along the parallel cable and AC power supply, it becomes portable. However, the real convenience comes from the Zip disks themselves. The disks have a tough plastic shell and come in a CD-type jewel box, so little protective precautions are required as you exchange data with Zip-owning friends.

Pros

  • Inexpensive
  • Easy to install and use
  • Portable
  • Rewritable media

Cons

  • Slow data-transfer rate
  • Impractical for backing up more than a few hundred megabytes

VST USB Floppy Drive FDUSB

VST USB Floppy Drive FDUSB Review



VST USB Floppy Drive FDUSB Feature

  • USB 1.44 floppy drive
  • detachable 3' USB cable
The VST USB Floppy is extremely easy to setup, requiring that you only plug in the included USB cable. The lack of an external power source is a convenient feature that helps keep the number of cords to a minimum but it also draws more power that the keyboard USB port on the keyboard can deliver. As such, it must be plugged directly into one of the iMac's USB Ports or a USB hub. Rear The drive also lacks the auto-ejection feature that one has come to associate with Macs. Instead, you have to choose 'Eject' from the Special menu or drag the disk icon to the trash. A message will then appear on the screen telling you it is safe to push the eject button on the VST USB Floppy Drive. The drive is very compact at only 6"l x 4"w x 1"h and also has the same smooth texture as the Bondi side of the iMac, making it a perfect companion for the iMac. The VST USB Floppy Drive is reliable as well. With the Imation SuperDisk I have found that the 120mb diskette often looses it format and needs to be reformatted but I have not experienced any such phenomena with the VST USB Floppy Drive. The VST USB Floppy Drive is compatible with 1.4MB Mac/PC floppies and reaches up to 500kb/s-transfer rate. With a 94ms average access time the VST USB Floppy Drive is an adequate substitute for the typical built-in floppy drive and an ideal solution for any iMac owner who needs a dedicated floppy drive
