Between ATA Flash, CompactFlash, removable hard drives, and Zip drives, people who use portable PCs have had plenty of options for removable storage. But none of them combine low price and light weight like Iomega's Clik PC Card Drive. This 1-ounce Type II PC Card drive accepts 40MB Clik discs that cost as little as $10 apiece when purchased in a 10-pack.
The PC Card Drive itself costs $200. But if you use lots of removable media, Iomega's system beats spending $140 on a single 40MB CompactFlash card or an ATA DataFlash PC Card--or carting around a $130, 2.5-pound Iomega Zip drive and connecting cables. The Clik PC Card requires no special driver installation, and access speeds approach those of full-size hard drives: In my tests with a shipping model, a QuickTime movie played without so much as a stutter.
