Hi Linda,
I on the other hand find Zip to be horribly unreliable. Having lost data to
the "Click of Death", getting the drive replaced by Iomega only to have it
return, I am very gun shy of them. It is still in my machine, but it seldom
use it and certainly not for anything that isn't backed up elsewhere. I have
a friend who has had Dell replace his 5 times!! I can't comment on the Orb,
but the price of media I believe is considerably cheaper. Which brings me to
my question to you, why not CD-RW? Having recently install one in my
machine, I find it to be the best back up and file movement device. Well,
next to another hard drive or three.
Hope this helps,

 I'm trying to make a decision whether to purchase a Zip or Orb Drive.
Would
 love to hear from folks who have had experience with either.  I've had a
Zip
 Drive in the past and know that the zip disks are reliable but am a little
 concerned about the Orb disks.  Will appreciate any info you guys can
 provide.
 Thanks for your help.
