Uhm.. why are people saying that Iomega is an unknown & cheap brand? It's a good brand.. quite famous in the graphic design business for making the ZIP drive.. we used ZIP drives before CD's and USB drives became cheap..

Actually, I didn't click the link because I don't like following Tiny URLs. It isn't that hard to either copy/paste a regular URL or to use the built in link mechanic in the rich text reply to shorten the text, but still reveal where the link is going.

As for Iomega, they aren't known for making the best quality HDD, so I'd rather buy one of the top brands because I've had enough HDD fail to know that I only want to buy the most reliable.


ebay links are usually rather long so I don't like to flood the page with em. Just used to doing that.
