I'm programmer currently with an organization that services confocal scopes. The experience here is that the iomega devices have caused more problems than they are worth, but it really mostly happens when they get full. I have used ZIP's for the last few years fairly successfully, but never let them get more than 90% full. I have also noticed failures associated with specific drives, i.e., after using a disk in one drive it will no longer work in others. Probably an alignment issue.
