| 527495 | 2007-02-25 05:00:00 | Anyone ever used or heard of a Zip Drive? I have an old Iomega unit on USB and it's fantastic for those short transfers and such..I even have it shared on my LAN with three other puters. I suppose they are rather dated..but then again, so am I. Yeah, our old PII comp had one. Internal. Marvelous device, as you could boot from them, and they were a lot faster than floppies, and not near so noisy. |

And bigger too . . . . . they are still for sale at the local big box stores here . . . maybe there's a resurgence of them? With flops among the missing now, maybe the Zippers will make a big comeback . . . . |

| 527499 | 2007-02-25 11:09:00 | Yeah, same as SurferJoe here as well. Over the last couple of weeks, whenever I plug in a SD card or a USB flash drive (256MB and 512 MB, normal and U3), My computer just wont show the icons or any indication that I have actually plugged anything in and I just have to go in and click on all drives available to find my one.

| 527500 | 2007-02-25 16:56:00 | Just ordered this from Accent. Kingston DataTraveler II+, 2GB, USB 2, Migo Edition 27 Feb $69.89 I know It's top price, but it includes fright and gst. And I prefer Ascent's service. So please don't fill the page up with posts about "I could have got it cheaper" or "brand X is better" |

| 527501 | 2007-02-25 19:02:00 | zqwerty, beeswax : your comments underline the importance of getting a decent warranty. Jack, what warranty does your's have, and is there a difference between DataTraveler II+ and DataTraveller I (other than price)? |

Jack, what warranty does your's have, and is there a difference between DataTraveler II+ and DataTraveller I (other than price)? Data Traveller 1 is only listed up to 1gb. 5 year warranty. Plus up to 3 more years at a price. Just wondering what "Migo Edition" means. |

| 527504 | 2007-02-26 03:26:00 | Data Traveller 1 is only listed up to 1gb. I guess you ordered before I made my post 9.49 PM yesterday that showed a 2 Gb Data Traveller for half of what you paid - sorry I was too late for you but anyway it is always a good idea to use PriceSpy to get the best deal. It looks as if Migo refers to software that comes with a DataTraveller stick. |
