Jaz drive question and searching for the term

Just purchased a jaz drive for my 2k and I'm trying to find some info on this site using the search function. Just trying to search for jaz and I keep getting no results. I've tried placing + signs and other items in front of it but nothing. I see posts with the word jaz in them so I know they exist. Is this just not a popular option for the 2k? I've been using my MPC ever since they released them and just finally looking for more storage so I can use it outside of my studio stand alone. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

zip

I have a ZIP drive that ive been using for years but i lost the power adapter. I found a brand new still in shrink wrap JAZ drive for less $ then a replacement power cord. With 1gb disks (10 times what the zip disk holds) I would think this would be more efficient. What's wrong with a jaz drive for no one to be using them?

Actually I haven't heard too many people have problems with the Jaz drive like the Zip drives "Click of Death".
The only issue I see is finding another Jaz drive to hook up to your computer to load/edit samples from your MPC Jaz disk... that's if you want to go the computer editing route.

I have an external SCSI Jaz drive that I bought cheap but never used it.

So if I bought an internal jaz drive for my computer I would be able to save sound files from the CPU and load them into the MPC? I don't want to buy one and find out I need some kind of SCSI port on the mother board. I will replace one of my cd rom drives with this. Thanks for the help bro. Nice site. Actually after reading a bunch of posts on here I feel a need to use the MPC for my tracks instead of using protools and reason 4 to lay down my drums. I have a few tacts that need to be replaced though.

Jaz drives are okay but they have a big design flaw that even Iomega admits to. The little cover over where the heads come into the disks gets dust on it and when you put the Jaz disk into the drive, the dust gets into the head assembly. Sooner or later, this causes the heads to crash. The flaw was so pervasive that Iomega just quit making them.

But it should work fine for a reasonable amount of time, just be sure to backup your data. If you buy an internal Jaz drive for your PC, it will be SCSI and yes, you will need an internal SCSI adapter in your PC to use it. All jaz drives are SCSI, so there is no getting around that. But SCSI adapter cards are dirt cheap - heck, we sell them for $10.00 - so that is really no big deal, assuming you have a free PCI slot.
