To All; A MUST READ--ORB BLOWS AWAY EVERYONE IN PCWORLD! Test results are in, and ORB beats Jaz "solidly." The PC World removable drive reviews are online, and Castlewood's ORB blows everyone else away and also receives a "Best Buy!" in the process. Here's a particularly good page of the review: pcworld.com Speedin' Along HOT: Castlewood Orb 2.2GB NOT: Hi-Val 120MB SuperDisk High-speed access to large files, such as graphics or audio, begs for fast performance. But if the ability to move a drive easily from PC to PC is your top priority, you'll have to submit to the leisurely (slow) speed of most parallel port drives. In our PC World lab tests (see "Test Report: Fast Orb and Jaz Rise to Top"), the EIDE-based Castlewood Orb blew away the competition. Even more surprising is how solidly the 2.2GB Orb beat the 2GB Iomega Jaz, which, with its SCSI interface, presumably should have been the better performer. -------- The EIDE Castlewood ORB blew away the SCSI Jaz! Just wait till the UW-SCSI ORB hits the shelve, it could be more than TWICE as fast as Jaz! Here is a chart which displays just how much faster ORB is than anyone else: pcworld.com All in all, the PC World article provides reason after reason to say "NO!" to Iomega, and a resounding "YES!" to Castlewood and the Jaz-beating ORB.
