From the Manufacturer
Don't let the Zip 250 MB drive's sleek, ultra-thin and lightweight appearance fool you. The Zip 250 MB drive is also the most durable storage solution for backing up your important data--and it reads and writes Zip 100 MB disks, too. With its combination of style and functionality, the Zip 250 MB drive is the high capacity storage solution you'll want to take everywhere. And you can--thanks to a single USB cable that provides data and power to your Mac or PC. No external power supply is needed.
And your Zip 250 MB USB-powered drive starter kit comes with three Zip 250 MB disks to get you started. Also, your Zip drive's software suite includes Iomega Automatic Backup software, to make backup a snap; and Iomega Sync software, to transfer files between computers seamlessly--making it perfect for mobile users.
Iomega Automatic Backup software backs up your important files automatically. Simply select the files you want to protect and personalize your backup schedule and location(s). The software does the rest! Backup locations include Zip drives, Iomega HDD drives, and Iomega NAS servers. Restoring data is easy--just drag and drop (Version 1.0.2).
Iomega Sync software allows you the freedom of portable data protection, keeping your important files synched between multiple computers. Active Disk-powered, the Iomega Sync software lives, launches, and runs on your portable Zip disk. As you change and save files, Iomega Sync automatically synchronizes between your hard drive and your disk. So, your latest file revision is always on your Zip disk, making Iomega Sync the perfect choice for mobile users.
When you add a Zip drive to your computer, it is like adding 250 MB to your computer's storage capacity. And with each Zip 250 MB disk you purchase, you add 250 MB more! And because Zip disks are the most durable backup media, you never have to worry about a scratch destroying your data.
Active Disk technology gives you the power to run unique software applications straight from your Zip disk. Download other Active Disk-powered software titles to your Zip disks and run them everywhere you go. There's nothing to install on your computer because the application launches automatically when you insert your Zip disk. Both the software and the projects that you create stay right on the disk, so they won't clutter up your hard drive. Simply eject it when you're finished, and everything is saved to your Zip disk. And since your software and files are on a Zip disk, you know they're completely safe, secure and portable.

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!!

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.

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 !
