Rating: - Very good product, I am very happy with it
It is a good product; just wish more people had it. I have used the Zip drives and I must say I like the ORB much more. It seems faster (USB) than the ZIP and makes allot less noise. You can also throw the drive in your backpack without damaging, just like the ZIP. The disc on the other hand is a bit more delicate. The disc has to be placed backwards into the disc box, you have to get used to that. I would have liked it if you could remove the disc from the drive and insert it into the box the same way it came out of the drive. I would have liked it if the drive could run from the power of the USB port, but since it is actually a SCSI drive it is probably not possible. Sometimes the SCSI cable unplugs from the drive if you transport the drive in your backpack (after throwing it in :) ). The latches are not very big to keep the cable fastened to the drive. It would also be nice to have the drive and disc available in South Africa for a good price. At the moment you have to import it yourself and pay allot on shipping and wait weeks to get it.

This is probably the best storage/backup solution for standalone computers(if you're a sysad and need to backup whole divisional servers, better stick w/ industrial tape drives;)). Very fast, flexible and reliable, cost per MB is hard to beat, overall a better solution than Zip disks or CD/RW for storage and you can even use it as a secondary HD(it's fast enough to put a Windows swapfile on it!!!). Best of all, they just announced a 5.7GB version.
Rating: - Great mass storage!
This is truely like having a 2.2 gig removable hard drive. Very fast, and massive. Easy to use, just like a hard drive. The only problems I have had (and heard other people also have the problem) is that sometimes the disk does not read initially when you insert it. However, clicking retry always works and then the disk is fine to use as long as it is in the drive.
An awesome addition to my computer. Each disk store tons of mp3's!
