Pros: Fast, reliable, lightwieght and large capacity Cons: Expensive and disks are expensive (Overpriced)
The Iomega Jaz drive is a wonderful machine for mass storage and especially for video editors. The device runs on a SCSI interface and has a data transfer rate of 40Mbps. Each disk holds 2GB of information and works just like a 2GB hard drive. The...
Pros: None Cons: Slower than Hard Drives, Not Dependable and expensive.
In my many years of using Iomega products, first as a computer professional, and more recently as a graphic artist, I have used, abused and discarded countless of their products. I remember as if it were yesterday the first day I used an...
As an Information Technology professional for over 16 years, and as an Epinions Expert in the computer section, I tend to focus on the technical side of products that I review. And while I will discuss some of the technical aspects of the Iomega Jazz...
Pros: Convenient for Video Cons: Design Inherently Flawed
The reviews already written for this device are great and hit the nail on the head. I just want to add two more pieces of data. I bought this drive for use with digital video. It seemed ideal at the time. It was fast (for a cartridge drive),...
Pros: Large storage capability for removable media, tech support is excellent Cons: installation can be difficult even for experienced installers
Iomega has a good product with the External Jaz drive. I have had the opportunity to install 25 Parallel port Jazz drives and have had troubles installing 5 of those drives due to hardware conflict problems with windows NT 4.0. When the drives install...
Pros: Fast and roomy removable storage Cons: Expensive, SCSI-2 connector is nonstandard
I purchased an Iomega Jaz 2GB after realizing that Zip drives are essentially obsolete for backing up modern hard drives. I also wanted something with a good transfer rate - capable of running applications and digital video / MP3s without noticeable...
Pros: Very fast transfer rate Cons: Way too expensive
I was searching through the store looking for a dependable storage device for my PC. My Zip drive was great and all, but just did not have the space to suit my needs. The first thing I saw was the Iomega Jaz 2GB external drive. Iomega has been...
Pros: cheap hardware, fast data transfer w/ SCSI Cons: expensive cartridges, can freeze up
I seem to be a minority in having a relatively good experience with the Jaz Drive. Mine is an external 2GB model, bought in late 1998, and I have installed a SCSI card into my PC expansion slot for much faster data transfers. I use the Jaz to keep data...
Pros: LOTS OF SPACE Cons: TERRIBLE AT KEEPING DATA
When I started Graphic Design School a few years back, we were greeted with information that the school was at the top of technology, and that the JAZ drives were the highest form of removable disk space that could be purchased. They still fall under...
Pros: large capacity, fast, portable Cons: Expensive, overkill for most needs
I've been using my 2GB External Jaz drive for almost a year now and have found it to be a superb device. I've heard that some people have reliability problems with their drives, but so far, my Jaz has performed flawlessly. Although I do use the Jaz to...
The IOMEGA Jaz Drive is impressive. It is a drive that holds 2 GB of info. This is only equivalent to 3 CD's. Jaz disks cost around $50-100, with the drive itself costing $350. I used a jaz drive all summer and I have had a couple of errors with it....
Pros: 2 gigs Cons: What? I couldn't hear you over my jaz drive.
I must confess that I bought a factory refurbished jaz drive. Meaning that it broke for someone originally and they returned it and Iomega checked it over, fixed it if it needed it and repackaged it for sale...a little cheaper.
I'm going on 2 years...
Pros: The SCSI design makes using the drive extremely fast and easy to use. Cons: The drive is noisy, costly, and software for it is outdated and cant be upgraded.
The Iomega 2 Gig Jaz drive is a costly purchase, but can be used to your advantage if you need that much storage. It is very useful for whatever the purpose. If you plan to buy the Iomega Jaz drive keep these useful facts in mind:
