| majorlag's Full Review: SYQT SyQuest SparQ (SPARQ1AI-01) Drive |
Hi, I have been using my SparQ 1Gig Removable Drive for a year, so far I like it. Why? Because it can store up to a gig., it is easy to install and use, and you can take it anywhere so you can upload and download files.
If everything goes right, all you do is put in the floppy drive and click on setup and reboot, after that your all set. Also I only paid for 50 (fifty) bucks which is fairly decent price for a gig and for its mobility. Now for the bad part is its company. I have heard that iomega have brought the company so its technical is unstable, so if your SparQ drive goes wrong it will take some time to get some help if your not a computer expert. I have been using it for a year and it havent broken down or given me any trouble, and also I am a computer expert so I dont really need to worry about technical support. But also because it is a parallel port drive it is very very slow, if you have patient then you wont need to worry about it.
This drive is also hard to buy in some area because of its unstable company I am not sure if they are still producing it. But I think you can find one in auction.
You don't need any accessories when buying this product because it comes with everything you need.
-the drive
- a 1gig disk
- a power cable
- a parallel cable
- a installation disk
- a manual
You can buy more storage disk in your local computer stores like CompUSA, Office Depot or those reseller shops. Price range around 30-100 US Dollars, from used or new.
also this drive makes noises from time to time which it is normal for it but not too loud, so take a note of that.
I choose this product instead of others is because of budget. It doesn't cost much and it will do for a gig of storage per disk. But because its cheaper than other removable drives it as its downs.
