Why bother?
As usual, Iomega is there with a product too late and too expensive to be relevant. Who would pay this much money for this overpriced ugly drive? For $300 street I can get a great Firewire 40 gig (and greater) drive. Why would I pay $200 for just the media when I can get the whole drive for almost as much.
Remember the $1000 20 mb Bernoullis?
This product is doomed, and is DOA as a Zip drive.
