I live 20 minutes from Iomega HQ in Utah and I can't believe Iomega is still attempting to survive. They have been dying ever since CD-burners and flash-drives became mainstream. Why do I need to pay more than 50 cents per gigabyte for storage? There are many enclosures I can get that have raid 0,1,5 capabilities and many even have USB2 and Gig-ethernet connectivity. Hard-drives are rather inexpensive. I can get a 3 terabyte system with raid 5 (4 1 terabtye drives, you lose one to parity)for less than $2000 (50 cents a gig by 4000 gigs).
Dying? Iomega has been dead to me ever since the adventure in data loss that was the Jaz drive. I, too, learned the horrors of the Zip click of death. I would never trust Iomega with anything important. Not even to haul my trash.
the Nook Color proved it was an undercover tablet all along, Barnes and Noble has hit back with this latest Nook as proof of its focus on one thing: reading.
