To conclude this review I’d say that an Iomega ZIP 250 USB Host Powered is the essential companion for every PC users that are on the look for something to replace floppy disks. The enhancements brought by the host powered model are definitely a plus for laptop users: when you travel into a different country you don’t have to worry about getting a compatible power plug for your ZIP and best of all you don’t waste precious suitcase space to arrange the AC Adapter! ZIP 100 owners will really get great benefits when upgrading to a ZIP 250 MB USB Host Powered but might prefer the normal USB model that let them turn the drive into a FireWire one (which is much faster). So why wait? Buy it right now!
