Pros: Large capicity, fast, removable, cheap Cons: hard to find
Well, i'm really impressed with the SparQ drive. I got mine new (still in their original box) on eBay for really cheap. Around $33 each, IIRC. I love them. Some people have reported reliability problems with them, but I haven't had any. These drives are...
Pros:CO$T Ease of Installation, Easy to use, Fast Access Times Cons: Can only use SparQ disks.
Why buy an IOMEGA Zip drive that holds 250mb and costs 3 times as much when you can get the SparQ 1.0gb drive and 10 disks for less money? That's the bottom line. This drive is very easy to install. Comes with complete instructions. All you have to...
Back when this was a new product, i was thinking... i can keep buying hard drives, or i can buy one removable media drive, and then just buy disks. I heard about the SparQ drive, read about it, and compared it against zip drives (too small) and other...
Pros: small, portable, removable hd Cons: slow, slow, slow
The syquest removable drive is relatively easy to setup. All you need to do is pop in the driver and plug it in to your parallel port (the actual hard-drive). The drive doesn't transfer at a very fast rate but it does get the job done. If you are...
Pros: easy to install, easy to use, 1GB storage Cons: went out of business, nobody has a syquest drive
I recieved a 1GB Syquest SparQ external removeable storage drive for my birthday in March of 98. I was thrilled to get it and have a way of storing files so that when I when I had to reformat my laptop I didn't have to redownload all the files I needed....
Pros: Fast, cheap, portable, removable storage Cons: Out lived its usefulness
Yes, Syquest is out of business, Chapter 11. They still exist in some form and claim they can still fix drives. Sparq drives can still be had and the media is still readily available.
The Sparq drive is, hands down, the best of the removable...
Pros: none Cons: Bad support, Company can't be found
I have changed my mind about the Sparq drive. Although it was easy for me to install and get to work, trying to get it repaired has started to get old.
I bought the Sparq because it was cheap and had much more capacity than the Zip. Now I...
I purchased an external Sparq drive on auction knowing that the company had gone into receivership. I thought it might be worth the risk considering I needed a lot more temp storage than a Zip can hold.
Pros: Great idea, Especially if you are always on the go. Cons: Poor design, always jammed up, and then some.
I purchased a Sparq drive a couple years ago when I heard about how much space they could hold, thought I was in for a good deal eh? Heh not a chance, lol. I was at first, but as time went along I noticed that the disks were getting spit out, and one...
Pros: Cheap (But Unfortunately, In Every Sense of the Word...) Cons: Uh, Well, Where Do I Start?...
I admit, I actually bought three Syquest drives, two internal Syjet 1.5GB drives and one external. Why? The first one was the internal EIDE drive and seemed like a bargain on an auction site. At that time, 1.5GB of removable storage space seemed awesome,...
Pros: Easy to use, High Reliability Cons: Maker seems to have folded.
I purchased two "Sparq" drives from Egghead (see FTC vs Egghead, a dream I have). Amazingly this was one of the very few no problem deals I had. These little guys are buzzing along happily in both my Win98 and WinNT machines. The install was...
Pros: none whatsoever Cons: a total waste of money and time
If you want to go totally bonkers while trying to do what the manufacturer bills as an "easy task", then this is the gadget for you. It's true it is easy to install, just flip the cd on your cd rom and watch it go, but then kiss your sanity...
