Iomega® REV™ Drives In The Press
 

Here's what's being said about the new Iomega REV drive in the press:
 

"...In terms of speed and convenience, the REV beats tape hands down...All in all, the Iomega REV keeps its promise. It is a much better option than tape drives for a small business or home office and an attractive alternative to a standard hard drive unit for those who need the flexibility of a removable cartridge-based system." Financial Times

"...It's certainly a lot faster than most tape backup devices, especially when you try to access a specific file. It's also way faster than CD-RW or the best DVD burners on the market. If you compare it to other devices where you can eject the media and take it with you, it's fantastic." Extreme Tech

"...REV's performance competes very favourably with external USB 2 hard disks, and it's much faster than any DVD writer or tape backup device, particularly with large files...you'll be able to keep using the cartridges for much longer, making it a cheaper option in the long run. The drag-and-drop ease of a removable hard disk has always been an attractive features, and now the REV makes it faster, offers larger capacity, and delivers much better media dependability." PC Pro

"...REV is ideal as a tape replacement for disaster recovery. It can also be used as a high capacity portable storage device for transferring large amounts of data between PCs...[REV] uses removable hard disks for unlimited capacity; it is fast - seven times faster than tape; it offers random access, so retrieval of files is easy; it is durable and won't fade like tape; and it is reliable." BusinessInfo

"Iomega's REV drive is a compelling alternative for customers who have traditionally used tape for backup and data protection on their entry level servers as well as high-end desktops. REV's performance, easy-of-use and attractive price make it a good fit for small businesses that value high-capacity removable storage." Research Manager, IDC

"The REV isn't short of technical goodies...if you are a developer, you can kiss the pain of hashed boot sectors from test operation systems goodbye. There is serious potential (with REV)..." The Inquirer.com

"Easy to use and less than half the price of most competing tape products, Iomega's REV drive outperforms more expensive tape alternatives like DDS-4, DAT-72, VXA, AIT-1, and DLT VS80." Computer Technology News

"Iomega has hit a home run with REV drive. With backup speeds that can exceed one gigabyte per minute, Linux users now have a clear alternative to tape for protecting mid-size installations..." Microlite

"If you are using DDS backup tapes, then the REV drive offers faster speed. It can be used for both backup of small server or desktop data and archiving of large files." Computerworld

"Iomega plans to challenge tape backup with the REV drive, which can back up data as much as three times faster than DDS tape, and offer millions of rewrites, as opposed to tape's thousands..." Computer Reseller News
