## Overview

The Castlewood Systems ORB2PE01 is a 2.2GB parallel port removable media drive designed for true portability and fast data transfer. With advanced MR technology, it ensures secure and reliable operation, making it an ideal solution for backing up most hard drives on a single ORB disk.

## Description

.com          Castlewood System's ORB2PE01 is a compact 2.2 GB parallel port drive that you can take anywhere along with its pocket-size removable disks. Large enough to back up most hard drives on one disk, ORB's disks are infinitely rewritable. Data transfers are as fast as 2 MBps. State-of-the-art MR technology gives you years of secure, trouble-free operation.             Review          Unseating the Iomega Jaz 2GB drive in speed and price is Castlewood System's ORB drive. With a 2.2GB capacity, the $199 ORB is about $100 less than the Jaz, and the $30 replacement cartridges are nearly one-third the price of the Jaz's.The ORB's performance is a winner, too. We compared average read/write speed of the ORB internal IDE drive (parallel, USB and FireWire interfaces are promised for the future) with an external SCSI Jaz drive. The Jaz should have been faster but, in fact, the 5400rpm ORB pulled in front at 1.24MB per second vs. the Jaz's 0.61MBps on our standard file copy test. At that speed, the ORB rivals some hard drives. Castlewood includes several utilities, such as drive and cartridge status, and disk eject. But more useful are an image-copy drive utility and the professional backup utility, which lets you choose files and which copied at a rate of 1.98MBps (there is no compression option). These utilities are available from a program group or by right-clicking on the drive's icon within Windows. Our only concern: Castlewood is a brand-new company, and during the past two years, the product has been repeatedly delayed. As with many new, price-leading products, finding the drives (or, more critically, blank media) might be problematic. -- From Winmag®

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Good, fast, cheap storage
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 19, 1999*

Remember when you got your Zip drive and suddenly floppies seemed, well, puny? After a bit of time with the Orb drive, you'll feel the same way about your Zips.The two devices are in about the same price range and  are both available in external and internal configurations. The Orb media  is two to three times more expensive (for now), but look at it this  way--you could hold 20 Zip disks on one Orb disk! Add the fact that the Orb  drive is as fast (or faster) than many for-real hard drives, and you've got  a winner.My one complaint? The fiddly door on the front keeps dropping  down, getting in the way, and makes swapping disks a bit of a hassle. A  small price to pay, however, for 2.2 gigs of fast, removable storage. I've  had mine for a month now, and it continues to work like a charm.
