I think it's great. I've only had mine for about a month so it may be
too soon to judge, but it seems very reliable. Unlike tape drives I
have come across, it is actually possible to restore from the Zip!
Speed-wise it isn't in the same league as a hard disk, but certainly
much faster than tape. Ideally I would want disks bigger than 100Mb,
but you can't have everything I suppose.
