Had one with my 5300 (1st model of VST Zip) and it was faster and vastly superior to my SCSI model in quality control. No CoD, although not with the SCSI one either.
I lost data with the SCSI one usually with unreliable media which the SCSI Zip seemed to be intolerant of. Had to reformat and it lost a bit of its 'life'. The media doesn't really bear more than about 3 years' use, IMHO.
