Product Description

Introducing the Zip 750MB Cartridge. Sleek, super-thin and lightweight, the format that's long been the coin of the realm from art departments to banks now leaps to 750MB capacity - the same as a CD-R disc!

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Most reliable backup system yet.......2007-06-02

I have found Zip/Rev disks to be the most reliable hard disk backup system yet developed. Tapes are slow and unreliable. CD-R disks can be used only once. CD-RW never seems to work properly.

1 out of 5 stars Convenient yes, but is it reliable?.......2005-03-05

The zip format is very convenient. I have been using them for years. I used to mail the 100mb disks overseas in just an envelope without a problem. Very reliable.

The 750mb? Not so reliable in my experience. I had a brand-new Zip 750mb disk die on me in the last few weeks. Within a few minutes, it was so badly corrupted that MS Windows could not format or even see the disk. Hardware failure. Gone was my "convenient" back-up. As dead as the disk. And this was not the first one to die on me! (I am talking about the disk, not the drive. Without the disk, the drive is worthless).

So I contacted the Iomega support people. Had to call them, because the website support sucks. Very friendly they were, but they would not replace the disk. Never mind that the disk has a five year warranty. No sir. I had to produce the proof of purchase. Well, the 750mb disk format has not even been out for five years, so that request defies logic. Who keeps the receipt for an cheap disk?

Suffices to say, this is where my 10 year old relationship with Iomega ends. When I back up data, I expect the media to be reliable.
