Cheaply-made.......2006-08-29

I _just_ purchased this item and as soon as I listened to it for the first time, I realized it was a low-quality item. Perhaps I received a defective unit, I don't know. It seems to retract correctly, however the sound quality is poor. The headphone terminal might be to blame as it appears to slip out too easily. Plus, if I move the cord even a little bit, I notice the connection break with a very annoying crackling sound. I consider this a wasted $20. I might try a more solid-looking brand in the future, however, I could not recommend this to anyone.

I actually decided to keep this unit. Yesterday, the retractor snagged and the cord would not come loose. I decided to just throw it away. I have been very delicate with it and still its effective lifespan for me was about 10 months. Piece of junk.

Great idea, but broke immediately.......2005-10-22

Make these more durable please!!! Not worth buying at this point.

Retracting feature is great.......2004-12-17

I have used this set with my I-pod for several months. I purchased this unit because of the retractable ear bud feature and I am pleased with it. I used to have a problem with any other ear buds cords tangling up. I have had no problems with tangling or retracting with this unit. The sound is acceptable -- in fact it's great for the price. I use my noise canceling ear buds when I want superior sound, but these are perfect for everyday use.

Don't waste your money.......2004-11-19

I purchased this retractable headset from Amazon.com about 3 months ago for $13. Besides being relatively heavy and clunky, the plug often slipped out of my iPod. Also, it gets stuck and won't retract. And when I pulled on it to get it out, the ear plug fell apart and now it won't play in one ear. Additionally, it still gets tangled and occasionally it won't retract back. I am already looking for another pair of earphones. If I could give this product less than 1 star, I would. It is cheaply made and not worth the money.

Weighing only 16 grams, the IBM Microdrive provides outstanding capacity in a compact, portable package-a key requirement for today's handheld devices. With a maximum sustained data rate exceeding 4 MB/sec, the IBM Microdrive provides a significant performance improvement over current flash memory. As a result, large files can be transferred very quickly, and users can be much more productive.

Customer Reviews:

Great device, but dropped it once, and lost all data!.......2002-05-11

I would've given this product a 5 star rating if I hadn't dropped it. I accidentally dropped it from 5 ft above ground and presumably lost all the data on it, if not even damaged it. My camera says that I need to reformat the microdrive before I can use it, and the USB card reader can't recognize it. This really upsets me because I've taken over 300 pictures with it. I am still trying to find a way to retrieve the data, if it still exists out there! God bless technology; it is really great until it bites you hard!

On a positive note, I loved the fact that I could store so many high quality pictures on it.

Works great, but not without drawbacks.......2001-07-20

This is amazing technology. The read-out on my Canon S10 indicates that I'll be able to store over 500 photos in high resolution setting on the microdrive. That's great, except for two major problems. One, the drive eats power like there's no tomorrow. I run out of battery power (with the display turned off!) about twice as quickly as a regular compact flash card. I'm not sure I can recharge the battery fast enough to ever get anywhere near 500 pictures taken. Most of the power drain would seem to be related to the second drawback. The drive runs extremely hot, which makes my camera very uncomfortable to hold. Not just warm, but hand-me-a-napkin-to-hold-the-camera-while-I-take-this-picture hot. If you really need the storage capacity, this might be the solution, but you better have plenty of batteries (and a potholder) handy if you plan on taking lots of pictures.

Keep it simple shutterbugs........2001-05-12

The IBM Microdrive is simple, convenient, and easy to install. After placing this drive in my Canon Powershot Pro70 digital camera. I began taking pictures. The software for my PC was equally simple to set up and use. These pictures have the best resolution of any of my digital photos.

I own an IBM X20 notebook; this hard drive plugs directly into CF port or into the PCMCIA slot of my Sony F580 laptop using supplied adapter. The transfer speed is significantly faster than USB transfers, and is warp speed 10 when compared to serial uploads from camera to PC.

What else does this drive do? It is compatible with an older Hewlett-Packard Jornada 680 hand held, but does not work with the newer Jornada 545 Pocket PC; however it is compatible with Compaq iPaq and Casio Windows CE hand held PDAs.

A drawback is that not all devices with CF slots will recognize this drive, so check the manufacturer specifications against your system specs. This drive will work with virtually any PC that has the right slots, but with PDAs and cameras performance and usability may vary.

Specifications: This one-inch hard disk drive: (1) Can hold nearly 700 images. (2) It replaces 84 separate 4MB flash memory cards or six 64MB flash cards. This more than equalizes the price; carrying one or two of these drives is certainly better than the flash card option. (3) It removes the need for photo compression that can cause loss of resolution and details. (4) It weighs 16 grams. (5) Has been certified at sustained data rate of 4MB/sec which allows large file transfers. (6) Uses industry standard CF+ type two format that makes it compatible with the PCMCIA slot (adapter required), a USB adapter, and most CF slots. There are more features, but they get extremely technical.

For the convenience, reliability, ease of use, storage capacity, tiny size, light weight, and...well... there are so many features that I love -- it is five stars.

Yes but what about the reliability........2005-03-05

The other reviewers are right. The zip format is very convenient. I have been using them for years. I used to mail the 100mb disks overseas in just an envelope without a problem. Very reliable.

The 750mb? Not so reliable in my experience. I had a brand-new Zip 750mb disk die on me in the last few weeks. Within a few minutes, it was so badly corrupted that MS Windows could not format or even see the disk. Hardware failure. Gone was my "convenient" back-up. As dead as the disk. And this was not the first one to die on me. (I am talking about the disk, not the drive. Without the disk, the drive is worthless).

So I contacted the Iomega support people. Had to call them, because the website support sucks. Very friendly they were, but they would not replace the disk. Never mind that the disk has a five year warranty. No sir. I had to produce the proof of purchase. Well, the 750mb disk format has not even been out for five years, so that request defies logic. Who keeps the receipt for an cheap disk?

Suffices to say, this is where my 10 year old relationship with Iomega ends. When I back up data, I expect the media to be reliable.

Fast storage.......2003-08-29

The advantage of the Zip drive over a CDROM is the shorter time it takes to make a backup. CD burn programs require several minutes to make a backup. A Zip drive a few seconds - drag and drop. Yes, for an archive of files you a CDROM might be better. But if you simply want to a temporary backup (and I always backup the novel I am writing after even the smallest modification), you can't beat the speed of a Zip. Also the Zip 750's response time is much faster than the Zip 250. Hit the button and it pops out in a half second.

WOW.......2002-11-18

now they have 250MB 100MB and they jumped to the 750MB wich hold 50MB more than a cd it was easy to install and setup and use and afordibale for those who don't have 400$ for a DVD-RW.

Very good choice, and i'm pleased with this product .......2007-08-03

Hi amazon:

This was a very good deal in all aspects of quaulity and time delivered.
Thank you for a job well done. Hugh Miles

Great product. Quick Delivery.......2007-01-11

This is a fairly standard product. The product was delivered quickly. I would use this provider again.

Have a high burnout rate.......2007-01-09

Maxwell Model 648200 CD-R do not burn well on audio with my computer burner. Also, last shipment was totally damaged. Not exactly thrilled with this product. Expected more quality from Maxwell.

Repeat Order...again!.......2006-11-04

I've been partial to Maxell products for well over 30 years--since the days of analog cassettes--UD90s, even before XL-1, XL-2 & MX came onto the scene. The tapes were well-constructed and nearly all are still in my collection enjoying service with no loss in fidelity. I am a discerning audiophile. So far, I have had no problems with any of the CDs I have burned using this product. I will continue to trust the Maxell name for my musical archiving and recording needs. So, since my spindle is getting low, it's time to order again.

Not the worst, Not the best either.......2006-10-21

First, let me state that I had 100% perfect burns with each disc, and I burned all 100. However, that's not attributable to the quality of the discs themselves, just that my CD-RW was compatible with the discs. So why did I not give 5 stars?

The disks are not all that durable, which is fine if you are making incremental backups of data that you won't be keeping for extended periods of time. For LONG TERM storage though, I would not trust these. The film/dye they use has already shown some wear after only 1 month of delicate handling. Holes have started to appear in the dye causing read errors, chips have started showing around the edges (I keep them in hard plastic cases, no idea how they chipped).

One thing I wish all CD-R distributors would publish on the outside of their packaging, is the actual manufacturer of the discs. For instance, Maxell does not make these discs, RITEK does. Had only I known that before, I would not have purchased them (google "Ritek CDR quality" to discover why - they are not the most well regarded manufacturer).

My opinion? Kodak makes the best LONG TERM archival discs you can buy. You pay much more for Kodak disks, but if you really need safe storage for your photos or documents, it's worth the extra money for the peace of mind (and no, I don't work for kodak).
