Returnbuy.com is selling the Iomega Clik Drive Camera package new in box for $30. Also, they don't kill you on shipping as usual, a somewhat reasonable $10. So, for $40 you get the drive + camera Package still covered by original 1 year limited warranty. On the downside, this item is discontinued by Iomega. But it also means this may be a last chance to get it at a great price. Iomega is still producing the 40 meg disk which cost about $12 a peice. Also, the drive can read and copy compact flash and smart media.

Iomega Clik Drive

This is a good deal I think. It's great for notebooks, PIM's, and digital cameras. Acts as another drive on your PC to replace your floppy. And the clik disks are very small. Also, now that I ordered this, I might look for those clik mp3 players, which sell for like 70-80 now I think. I bought one for myself and one as a gift for my dad to use with his digital camera. Here's a review that covers everything this package has to offer...

Clik Drive/Digital Camera Package Review

One thing that dissapoints me is that the docking cradle isn't USB. It's parallel port, which means it may take 5-6 minutes to load a 40 meg disk. Not a few seconds which even USB 1.1 would offer. However, I don't think you can beat this price for everything you get. I'll probably use mine as a portable replacement floppy. For those times I don't want to spend time setting up my cd burner to burn a CDR and instead just want to drag and drop a couple files.

imho, this product isn't a hot deal anymore, with the prices of compact flash and smart media these days. I have the same drive, and I never use it. Why would you copy CF or Smartmedia over to a clik disk when you can just use a larger CF or Smartmedia card.

I agree Bertrandom, not to crap too heavily on this thread but I was about to buy the thing when I realised that the smallest of my memory cards holds 64MB, this thing only holds 40. If it burned to a cd that would be cool.

Ranger, thanks for thinking of us, I was excited about it at first.
