Guide Review - Iomega External Zip 750MB USB 2.0
The first Iomega Zip drive I purchased was to enable me to transfer large files between myself and a co-worker who just happened to be using a Mac. The increased storage capacity of the Zip 750MB makes it even easier to share and transport large files. For mobile professionals this can be especially useful for presentations.
A new benefit that Iomega has made possible is mobile professionals can now run applications directly from their Zip drive using the Active Disk software. There are a variety of business and productivity programs available including programs compatible with Microsoft Office. This means mobile professionals can now work from any location and not worry about having access to compatible applications.
The Zip 750MB is simple and straight forward to use - simply plug into an available USB port and it is ready to use. You can use the 750MB capacity disks for backing up important data, file sharing and transferring or to run your applications. These multi-purpose disks and the compact drive make it easy to stay productive and share your work.
It is worth noting that you should make sure that when packing your Zip drive that it is in a well-padded pocket or case to protect it from damage.
For mobile professionals, such as those in Real Estate, Legal professions and the Insurance industry, the Iomega Zip 750MB USB drive is a great way to access data, keep it safe and share while traveling.
