This video has been circulating for quite some time. I put it in the same category with the Zip Drive "Click Death" issue. It's really hard to tell how much of this has been driven by motivated parties creating fear campaigns, and how much is really a sincere consumer issue.

FWIW, the first ZIP drive I bought had the Click of Death right out of the box.

I never got a Zipdrive --- I was somehow able to wait until the new HD/usb technology came of age.

FWIW, the first ZIP drive I bought had the Click of Death right out of the box.

I used to use Zip drives a lot to move large files between my office PC and my home PC, and never had that problem with them. The only problem I did have was that they were so SLOW, especially the parallel port drive I had on the office machine (I had an IDE model for my home box). At any rate, I don't use them any more at all. I bought a 256 MB USB flash drive to carry files back and forth now, and for really big files I just burn CDs.
