## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Must have, for older computers' hardware compatibility
  

*by B***T on Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2012*

I just finished writing a Zip 100 Drive review, so search on my nickname and 'zip' in Reviews (or look up All My Reviews, as the Zip review will be the same date as this one, nicely alongside).Basically, you need these old Zip drives to enable your DOS machines to 'talk to' your newer Windows machines.  And you or your parents or your grandparents, will have such older files (I'm 59, so I guess I qualify in the granny category).  So maybe give this as a gift to them, or carry it over to their house and help them preserve the old files.  For you will need those old files, for nostalgia, tax and legal purposes, eventually.

### ⭐ 







  
  
    Waste of my money. Windows 95 required.
  

*by J***C on Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2019*

You must have Windows 95 to use this item. Who still has Windows 95 for crying out loud!

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    while both handy and useful, is not well made
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2016*

This drive, while both handy and useful, is not well made.  I have had several of this model and they do not last.  In addition, construction is poor.
