Advantages: Drive is small in size, disks hold 100mb of info, inexpensive

Disadvantages: Can take a while to copy 100 meg of info onto a disk.

My zip drive doesnt look anything like the pic of the one that looks like a car, but its still pretty sheek. Its really thin, and can stand on its side, or on its base, so its very spacially economic. The fact that it is USB, makes it really really easy to connect, no more having to do up those fiddly screws on the com port plugs! It took me literally 10 minutes at most to plug it in and install the software, then i was zipping away!

Although this is only 100mb, rather than the 250mb, its still pretty useful. I recently got a new computer, and i wanted to keep loads of the info on my old computer, but couldnt put the old hard drive into the new computer, so i rigged up the zip drive, and copied all the stuff i wanted via Zip disks! although it took a bit of time, it was worth it.

The fact that it holds so much on one disk is really cool, and the disks are relatively inexpensive, so thats good. The drive has a few features, there is a copying feature, so u can copy disks really easily without having to copy the files onto the computer then back onto another disk, etc. You can also password protect your disks, so important information is safe.

The drive is not that expensive, and i just find it really really handy, and im sure if you need to transport large amounts of information around, one of these will be even more useful so i suggest you do what the cabby says,
'you wanna get yourself one 'a them Iomega Zip disks mate!'
