Subject: RE: Power-cut - & Iomega
I have heard about the Spar Q drive made by Syquest from a friend, he says
"The response quality from the manufactory is good and I have had good luck
with it." I made inquires about the price and the hardware sells at a
recommended price of $200 which includes one platter. It is guaranteed for
one year. The platters sell for $100 for groups of three and each of their
platters can hold one gigabytes of information. These platters are
guaranteed for 5 years.
I am contemplating buying one but am interested to obtaining more
information about the opinion of other owners or users of this device. To
check the company on the internet as syquest.com and you find prices and
other information.

Same thing here; however JAZ-Drive. The thingy is expensive, media too, and
utterly unreliable.

Nobody knew why this common phenomena occured. Iomega just ignored the
