Who can use this?
EZ135 drive is the most powerful and efficient peripheral you
can buy for your computer. With the speed and reliability of a
hard drive, you'll store and retrieve files lightning-fast, and
the removable 135MB cartridges ensure you'll never run out of
space.
SAFE BACK-UP
You can store cartridges with important business and family files
in a different location than your computer for true safety. Keep
personal files totally private.
PORTABLE STORAGE
Each 3.5" cartridge holds as much data as 100 floppies. But
unlike 100 floppies, a cartridge can fit in your shirt pocket.
HARD DRIVE IN A 3.5" CARTRIDGE
Other removable storage products use floppy or tape drives, but
the EZ135 drive uses proven Winchester technology, just like the
hard drive in your computer. That's why they're as fast and reliable
as a hard drive, but have unlimited storage just by adding cartridges.
Perfect for backing up important files, but unlike tape drives
you can randomly access and use the information at hard drive
speeds without first transferring them to your computer's hard
drive.
ORGANIZER
An EZ135 Drive can help you organize your files and software by
making separate cartridges for family and friends-essentially
giving each person a hard drive of their own.
MADE BY THE INDUSTRY LEADER
SyQuest Technology makes the world's #1 selling high performance
removable storage products. SyQuest is also the first choice of

THE MOST AFFORDABLE SOLUTION
Hard drives fill up; it's their nature and buying a new one each
time they're full is very expensive. Tape drives are slow and
can't run software, and floppies hold a mere drop of data. With
a SyQuest EZ135 drive you can add 135MB cartridges at a fraction
of the price of floppies every time you need more space. Byte
for byte, it's the most affordable solution.
HELPS YOU TO TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF YOUR EXISTING SYSTEM
By dividing up files and applications among different cartridges
you can spare yourself the pain of constantly having to reorganize
your hard drive. With an EZ135 drive you can free up space on
your computer and stop using compression software or virtual memory.
This will speed up your system without an expensive upgrade.

and shipping files on EZ135 cartridges is easy. With the SyQuest
EZ135 drive, your search is over for affordable, safe, removable
storage. Made by SyQuest, the world's leading manufacturer of
fast, affordable removable cartridge hard drives.

About WinBench 95 Disk benchmark test:
This benchmark is a weighted suite that tests the read/write speeds of disk
drives. It conducts 16 tests and averages the score. The score is called the
"Index." The higher the Index number, the faster the drive. It is called a
"weighted suite" because some tests carry more weight than others.
| WinBench 95 Disk Performance | |
| Drive | Index |
| SyQuest EZ135 Parallel Port | 338 |
| Iomega Zip Parallel Port | 127 |
Results:
Under Windows 95, one should expect that an EZ135 Parallel Port will perform
nearly three (338/127) times better than a Zip Parallel Port drive.
Call (415)328-5555 x108 or (510)226-4000 for more details on these results.
*This is only one of many benchmark tests. All WinBench 95 benchmarks resulted in performance indices for EZ135 Parallel Port drives being at least twice that for Zip Parallel Ports.
