FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ROY, Utah, Oct. 13, 2000 - Iomega Corporation (NYSE:IOM), a global leader in data management solutions, today announced the introduction of Club Iomega(r), an Internet site providing users of Iomega's immensely popular Zip(r) disks with an exclusive source of rich multimedia content.

Beginning in the first week of November, premium media companies from across the spectrum will begin filling Club Iomega with world-class dynamic content. Among the choices will be exclusive star interviews and premieres of movie trailers, previews of unreleased music from popular new artists, excerpts from upcoming books by best-selling authors, and much more. In addition, members will be able to play Iomega-exclusive games, enter contests for prize vacations, and enjoy other online content and promotions. Club members will also receive special promotions on Iomega drives, disks and other new products.

The keys to the Club will be available at www.iomega.com beginning the week of October 23, 2000. At that time, visitors to the Iomega site can download a viewer program that acts as a Web browser extension and connects them, via an Internet link, directly to Club Iomega(r). Later this quarter all new Iomega Zip disks will begin shipping with the Club Iomega program pre-recorded on the disk, providing even more convenient access to Club Iomega.

"Iomega is committed to being closer to the customer," said Bruce Albertson, president and CEO, Iomega Corporation, "and Club Iomega is a great example of how we're getting there. We're creating an appetite for multimedia content among our customers with new products like HipZip and FotoShow. Now members of Club Iomega will be able to enjoy free access to frequently updated, exciting content from our many partner companies at one convenient site. We're excited about the partners we're lining up for Club Iomega members, and we look forward to announcing those partners and the special content they will be bringing."

Iomega ships about five million Zip(r) disks every month, and with more than 38 million Zip drives shipped worldwide, content partners have the capability to reach a large and desirable customer base with key product messages and special discounts. Club Iomega will take advantage of the Internet's flexibility by providing a frequently updated range of exclusive site content that will encourage customers to return often.
