Iomega Mini Drive review

Active Disk ain't worth it

Excellent read speed. Active Disk is more or less worthless except for a few titles, but at a large cost of drive convenience. Every file goes into the root directory instead of a 'program files' style directory which was what I was expecting. This leads to a lot of clutter for the mini drive's root directory if more than one Active Disk-powered program is used.

Also, each computer that reads an Iomega drive for the first time is forced into a reboot-- not nice if a system was a server or needed to be run full time.
