The Iomega Mini is 86mm long, 25mm wide, and 9mm thick -- about the size of a tube of lipstick and almost three times larger than its tiny cousin, the Micro Mini. Dressed in a snazzy silver-and-grey plastic casing, the Mini has a belt clip and a cool metal ring that fastens around the length of the drive to prevent the cap from falling off and to allow for a keyring attachment.
Iomega includes a few precut labels, which you can tuck behind a small, clear window on the drive's side. Aside from the labels and a brief, multilingual installation guide, the Mini does not come with any extras. However, like Iomega's Micro Mini flash drive, the Mini supports Iomega's handy Active Disk technology, which lets you use certain applications on any computer you plug into -- even if the computer doesn't have those programs installed. A number of Active Disk-enabled programs are available for free on Iomega's Web site, including Preclick, a photo-editing app; PocoMail for email; Musicmatch Jukebox, a digital-music player; and many more. Take note, however, that these programs will use up drive memory. The Mini is available in capacities ranging from 128MB to 1GB. The 128MB model that we looked at costs £67 (inc. VAT), or about 52 pence per megabyte, which is relatively expensive compared to other flash drives.Images

Excellent read speed. Active Disk is more or less worthless except for a few titles, but at a large cost of drive convenience. Every file goes into the root directory instead of a 'program files' style directory which was what I was expecting. This leads to a lot of clutter for the mini drive's root directory if more than one Active Disk-powered program is used.
Also, each computer that reads an Iomega drive for the first time is forced into a reboot-- not nice if a system was a server or needed to be run full time.

6.70 out of 10I like mini control panel.
I like clip and sure close.
usb 2 give quick transfers like others keys.
Control panel helps to eject the key and open and close dir window to operate on files inside.
I think is not very cheap...
