Thank you Philip for posting that link to Deja.com. Below is an interesting response to the single complaint you posted. It seems the only problem encountered with Orb is from that one ugeek.com post. Now every attempt by Iomaniacs to bash Orb points to that one post. However, if you read all of the reponses, praise after praise is heaped upon Orb by Orb owners and people who want to buy an Orb and avoid "crappy" Iomega drives.

Yes, the ORB drive looks like a winner, fast, cheap, and reliable, with new technology. I hope the ORB will dethrone the crappy, overpriced, and unreliable Iomega drives. If Castlewood Systems succeeds in dethroning Iomega, then the price of the ORB may rise, but at least we'll be getting a much better product as the market standard. Nothings pisses me off more than seeing inferior products being market leaders: Iomega, Microsoft, and the PC standard, for example.... |
