Product Description
Castlewood's removable media drive product, named ORB uses 3.5" removable media with a capacity of 2.2 GB, more than any other product in its category. Additionally, at an impressive 12.2Mbps maximum ORB sustained data transfer rate-the fastest transfer rate of any removable media product available today-is completely "video ready." ORB disks can be used in a variety of applications that require storage of large amounts of large files and digital data, such as music and video editing, graphic design, publishing and multimedia presentations. Information technology (IT) markets are expected to use ORB drives as a way to easily and quickly back up data, and increase PC storage.Castlewood is providing ORB Tools, a feature-rich suite of functions designed to help manage your ORB disks and make backups as intuitive for the novice as the professional. ORB Tools feature: Write Protect, Disk Partitioning and Formatting, Set ORB as Fixed or Removable, a file archive called "tracker," ORB Disk Duplicator, SCSI Mounter, and other useful maintenance functions. The ORB Tools Backup Suite includes 1-Click Backup, Volume Copy, Image Copy and Professional Backup. For the novice, ORB's one-step backup sets a new standard for thoroughness, simplicity and security by automating system disk and file backups. Also, ORB drives use a new design, called "headerless ID," thus eliminating the need for disk formatting.

The orb drive is terrible. After owning it for 4 months the discsturned corrupt and ruined the drive. I sent it back (paying 20 bucks for shipping) and got a new one. 4 months later same thing. I sent it back again and 4 months later it is screwed up again. If you wanna buy a POS drive buy this. I will sell you mine and my 2 ruined discs...

The Orb drive has kept me from needing a new computer, since I can infinitely increase my hard drive space for my mp3 fetish. The one problem is it's extrodinarily loud when it's "thinking," but it's a small price to pay.

I have been stuck with a 2GB hard drive and haven't wanted to outlay the cash to upgrade an old system with a new hd. The internal orb drive is as fast as my old hd and holds more. If thats not enough I can buy new 2.2Gb disks for only 30-40 bucks. I just hope they stay in business long enough for support and media issues
