Iomega several years ago burst forth with nifty storage solution; the REV drive, which could store up to 40gb of data on a single disk which was removable from the housing controller connected to the source computer by via a USB connection. The trick was that another 40gb disk could then be put into the drive and more data could be stored on that disk. You could buy an infinite number of disks and label each one separately. The disks were expensive, relative to the market price of data storage even then, about $ 1.37 per gb ($55) each. Today the price has dropped to $40 per disk when bought in a 5 pack such as offered by Amazon -- still a high price per gb of storage.Compared to other newer forms of storage such as external portable drives like Maxtor's secure Black Armour drives which cost about 30 cents per gb, the REV disk solution just seems to not have kept up. I suspect the robust quality of the disks is too expensive to drop the price to be competitive. There are larger capacity REV drives still for sale by Iomega but if I didn't already own the REV drive from several years back, I would not have bought any more disks. This purchase was likely my last.PS if the drive stops working, try buying a new power supply. That may get you your data back. Only buy a new drive otherwise. Most used REV drives don't work. I bought two from a vendor and had to return both. While the disks have never failed me the drive has. If Iomega stops making the drives you are in a difficult position. Always keep your data backed up in other ways.

As expected, this product works great. This purchase was for replacement of disks that were several years old. We back up high volume data 5 days a week, so our old disk lasted a very long time considering the volume of data on the back ups. Replacement of this product was strickly maintenance related and not because the disks failed.NCamp
