Want to see _inside_ of the Clik PCMCIA drive? Here's a bonus clip for you!
ruclips.net/video/SX4mA2m8kO0/видео.html
I didn't fully disassemble it when I made the Oddware episode because doing so destroys the drive, just due to the glue used and flimsy metal getting bent -- at least without the correct tools/skills. But well, now that I am convinced the drive is very much dead anyway, I figured "hey, why not rip it open and look at its guts."
Keep up the great work! I love your videos
Yahoo you found one thank you LGR your video's are outstanding.
RIP Clik Drive....
LGR ,
Thank you!
I worked at Iomega during the Clik era. They were **really** proud of the sound it made when you put a disk in. Management wanted it to feel like a clicky ball point pen for some reason. I think that's why they stuck with the name for so long, even in the face of the Click of Death. They were very attached to that idea.
A bit of trivia: the movie Minority Report used removable media shaped like a Clik disk. You can see the little black plastic corners and the overall shape of the thing, but all the actual metal and disk bits were replaced with a transparent piece. The holographic UI effects were then layered onto the transparent portion.
It is a good sound.
Great story about what the thinking was in the office at the time! Thanks for the story friend!
Yes Iomega needs to improve its drives
You should do an Oddware episode for April Fools which treats something not odd (like USB drives) as if they never caught on and are not in use today.
Nono a FUTURE episode reviewing current tech as old, and he can dress up like he's from the future xD
@@Zeriel00 or a past episode where he current tech as the future and dresses like he's in the past.
A USB-C 128 GB flash drive would seem like alien tech to someone in the 90s.
Or like a MuVo MP3 player. April fools plus real video in one!
@@Zeriel00 Or an episode where he reviews say, an Apple II (ie. 1977 tech) dressed and acting as though it's the early 90s. Presented as being "from the LGR vault"
Duke 3D: LGR's version of: "Can it run Crysis?" :D
nope it's capacity is way to low lol
Cool
Lemme see if I can PKZip or stuffit onto a Mac 512 and see if it can
13:16 Well not a Click of Death but the Death of a Clik, huh?
Iomega might as well be named "Clicks and Death Incorporated".
Yes, we did test it on the Bonnevie salt flats
You know Clint, I had no interest in the kind of things you're interested in until I started watching your videos. I used to just watch your video game reviews for a quick caption of what I could expect to find, eventually migrating myself to your other videos to see what you did. Honestly I'm still not that jazzed on most of the old hardware, it's how enraptured you are; you know your shit on so many subjects, and honestly it's your interest in the subject that holds my interest in your videos. I mean I just spent 17 minutes watching a video about a freakin zipdrive. You are extremely engaging and you do an absolutely fantastic job, and I just wanted to say thank you.
And thank _you_ for the kind words, I'm glad the videos have struck a chord :)
I'm vaguely interested in any sort of outdated computer technology, but there's no way I'd know half as much about any of it without people like you that make it entertaining to learn about. Keep doing what you do, man.
Sounds like this video really *clik-d* with you.
that was terrible. I love it.
Dan Reader Absolutely know how you feel
go back to 1999 with a 64gb usb stick and watch people loose their minds.
Why not 1984 and how many versions of apple basic?
Why not 1950's and see how people freak out with their ENEACs?
Just you won't get the necessary drivers ^_^
@@ceneblock its ENIACs, not ENEACs.
64GB? Just take a 8TB HDD with you...
Why not 128 or 1tb
I feel like if you were able to press the files of Duke Nukem 3D onto a Vinyl Record, and somehow play it off of that you would.
You already have ways to store it on a VHS tape.
I absolutely would, haha. I know there were some games distributed on flexi disc vinyl!
Were you supposed to plug your stereo into a tape drive cable?
larryinc64 technically certain models of PC do have tape inputs (PCJR, etc) but most of these aren't capable of running Duke3D
I do wonder, considering today's technology, how much data would fit on one side of a vinyl record...
Fernie Canto estimates vary widely, but over 100 MB seems reasonable. Compression could push it further depending on the data stored. See: www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/27zksf/theoretically_what_is_the_data_capacity_of_a/
Oh man the sound of insertion for those disks is pretty satisfying
I can confirm it is EXTREMELY satisfying doing the clicking as well.
thats what SHE said
Remind me of the click of an irl p90 magazine being pulled out it's the most statifying thing every
I want one just for that reason.
The PCMCIA versions dying like that was a common occurrence in my experience. I was a tech at a high volume (50+ daily) laptop repair facility from the late 90's through the 2000's. A particular pharmaceutical customer used those Clik drives along with Zip drives for additional backup storage for all their field reps. It seemed like the PCMCIA Clik drives were quite unreliable for them, not to mention the click of death on the Zip drives also being a big issue. As broadband service rolled out to more and more areas in the early 2000's they adopted using client/server based backup software instead and phased out all forms of media like the Clik and Zip drives which meant the facility I worked at got thousands of those drives, media and so on dumped on us when that happened!
yepe it's capacity is way to low lol
Almost reminds me of a PSP UMD.
There's a format that was destined to die(and sucked).
lmfao if you honestly think the umd format died or was close to dying then you're lost.
If only they would have put the shutter on the UMD! That was the thing that killed that format. It was plenty good for what it was designed for, but they just got so incredibly dirty so fast that it was just... Blah.
Is it used anywhere else? I'm not trying to argue, I'm just curious.
No, UMD died in 2014. Nothing uses it anymore.
"Boss, our technology is becoming obsolete. What do we do?"
"Carry on and double-down."
Wait, you were there during the insider meetings at Intel from 2011-2019? And nVidia's Tegra CPU branch _since_ 2012?

It's the future!
Hmmmm cindy crawford....... Whatever happened to her?
She must be getting a pension now lol..
It could hold quite a few of both, at 40 MB
“Mmmm Windows 95 ❤️” I appreciate the subtitles, Clint! English is not my native language so having very well written subtitles helps a lot to better understand what you’re seeing. You da’ man, Clint!
Xqrement I like to watch LGR with subtitles just because of the little details like that thrown into the captions
@Xqrement: For someone who claims that English is not their native language you seem to have an excellent command of it, at least based on your comment above. Congratulations! You know English better that 90% of everyone who's ever commented on RUclips!
Likewise. I love having the subtitles because I have obnoxiously loud little kids that make it hard to hear anything.
The dying drive sounded like a distressed duck ;(
Couldn't handle The Duke.
Clik
Sounds like the air-horn noise in that Thug Life meme
Pish posh! In that alphabet soup of late '90s portable storage media, how could you forget the mighty Caleb UHD144 "it" drive!? Actually, the problem was that when it was introduced in 1998, nobody else noticed it, either...
VWestlife hi
"Alphabet soup"... my favorite quip was "What does PCMCIA mean?"
"People Can't Memorize Computer Industry Acronyms." :-)
That product at 5:40 is the most early 2000's thing I've ever seen. Look at those beautiful rounded edges. Look at that oval screen. It's like staring into the face of early 2000's God.
Blue Laser I had one. It was great
I forgot that 2000’s is now kind of vintage for kids
@@josecarlosxyz "For kids"? The early 2000s are as vintage now as the 90's were in 2010.

Plus that Windows 95 start up sound was sweet, sweet nostalgia.
Yuupp
I heard that so much as a young adult. Wow.
:D
Good ol' Windows 95. Yeah, that startup sound definitely brings back the memories.
Yeah, you are right!)
I remember seeing these on the R&D desk when I was working at Iomega in 1997. For '97 tech they were amazing, but being released in '99 they were pretty much a flash in the pan. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
That Clik! Camera kit has more parts and assembly than some Lego sets.
Cost about the same though
For some reason at 10:44 I got the strange urge to listen to "Buddy Holly" by Weezer.
Your videos are great to show to my 12 year old stepdaughter who believes nothing existed before smartphones and tablets.
Geez... when I was 12, I was 4 years away from getting my first PC (a 486 with single speed CD-ROM and 200 MB hard drive).
[kryode] that’s awesome! Long live old technology! I collected old cameras for the longest and camcorders and cameras for the 80s and 90s are truly my favorites
Molly Monoxide I’m 14 and for some reason this stuff just plain pleases me. And makes me want to buy old hardware.
I am also of the same class if age as [kyrode] and I also just adore 'old' tech. I have an Apple 2 that I use on a daily basis to make simple games.
When I was 12, I had a Commodore Amiga 1000 with expanded RAM that raised it to a total of 1 MB. They weren't very popular or widespread in the US but my brother was loyal to the Commodore brand so I just followed suit because I was kid and just wanted to fit in with the older crowd. Nearly all my games were cracked PAL copies he'd get from BBS's and Commodore Club meetings in the basement of a nearby bingo hall. Hehehe.
The disks are adorable, it would be so cool to have a revival of that design
I was at Comdex when the click came out.. iOmega gave out these little noise "clickers" culminating in the most annoying show floor ever!
I feel your pain...
They gave those out at MacWorld in San Francisco, too. I think I still have mine somewhere...
I wonder if there are any pictures.
Hahaha!
The "click of death" is something I immediately thought of when I saw the title of this video. A bit of a marketing blunder there, since the term 'click of death' STARTED with iomega zip disc drives. It now refers to similar sounds from dead hard drives when the read/write heads continuously attempt and fail to seek, so even now it isn't an especially good idea.
It's a fascinating little thing and its appearance reminds me a little of the UMDs that the PSP used - optical discs built in to their own protective caddy, instead of a magnetic disc in the case of the Clik. Too bad for it that flash memory and compact HDDs ended up overtaking it rapidly in pretty much every way.
lomega is clearly not deprived of self-irony (I apologize in advance for my English)
You can't blame Sony for trying to make yet another properietary method of memory they owned. Taking chances like that has put the company in the place it is today! I do blame them however for that god awful naming convention. UMD is irony in of itself.
I didn't know they had PCMCIA cards like that for non-flash storage, neato
All I've ever used were networking cards and various interfaces
Lassi Kinnunen IBM and Toshiba both made Hard Drives which went into a CompactFlash memory card slot.
the Amiga 600 & 1200 would even let you use flash pcmcia memory as a ram expansion iirc.
I wonder what it would have made of a clik disk?
Not just IBM and Toshiba; I have a 260MB single-slot Callunacard PC Card HDD, which is delightfully noisy and pretty cool IMO.
LeiserGeist There were even tv cards for PCMCIA.
There's been just about a PCMCIA everything.....
I still have around 80 of these things, filled with early 2000 documents galore. I first bought one for my Sony PictureBook (PCMCIA version), remember those, I even had the best and last one, though any computer with a Transmeta CPU, can't really be called the best, in fact the previous generation using a Pentium 2, was actually faster. Though I used Debian Linux, so the PictureBook wasn't that slow. I continued to use the Click drive for about 10 years in almost all of my notebooks and early tablets, I actually loved the medium, it was perfect for storing data for long deration's of time that needed to still be accessible in a moments notice.
I finally replaced the system with a Sony Magneto-optical drive and than later Mini-Disks, yes, Sony actually made a data orientated Mini-Disk drive, the very rare Sony MDH-10, I still use it today for data when I want to store data at the bank, Don't worry, I have two, unopened Sony MDH-10 drives, I bought all three of them when they were being sold for less than $100. MiniDisk data disks actually last a long time, I have yet to have seen any data corruption as of yet.
I use dvd-ram.
Ahhhhh, LGR. My favorite excuse to not be working.
I still have a few old flash drives with like 128MB AND 256MB. Back then that was a lot. Seeing as MP3 files were around 3MB it was the main use for having large capacities. People would use CD-R DIsk to put movies in that were like 700MB Per movie
Oh yeah : ) - I had the MP3 player that used those - lots of memories of sitting on the school bus listening to Linkin Park, 'Cos I got High' and 'Baby Got Back'
Same, I think each one held about 8 or so songs so I carried about 4-6 of them.
I’m gutted, my girlfriend and me both used Click! drives back then but I never knew there were Click! based MP3 players until now! I wold probably have bought one if I’d known?
I like cliks and I cannot lie.
Ash Slaughter love your pic. I miss that old dos icon
Are you sure you aren't confusing it with the Minidisk format...? They do both look a bit similar.
Gotta love the old days of 90's pcing where it would say "100% complete!" for like 4-5 minutes straight.
No wait that sucked and noone liked it. Bad design microsoft!
Um... The semi-modern (2015 and newer) lower-end devices running windows 10 that I play around with STILL do that during updates and downloads. Apparently, some things never fully change...
I love the concept of these things. They're like a 1980's idea of what future storage media might look like.
90s and there were way better storage mediums around back then.
13:13 That's just the TURBO kicking in! Don't leave the clutch out, you'll over-rev it.
13:30 See, you flooded it.
Old Ben: "Iomega - that's a name I've not heard in long time"
Vero Tabares Yes lomega needs to improve its drives.
I found one of these in clearance bin once around Father's Day long ago, and I also thought the idea was really neat (I used to use Zip disks a lot for work anyways), so I got a couple and gave one to Dad. Neither of us ever used it, at all (afaik). I never even opened mine I just had no actual use for it.
The Clik! PC Card is shockingly prone to heat wear. They work a lot better if your PC card bay isn't exposed to the heat of the CPU too much. I noticed this on my IBM T23 and it's dock. The internal card slot frequently caused failure in the PC card, to the point it couldn't detect the discs. However, when I insert the card into the dock, far from the laptop's CPU, performance was near perfect with no failure.
Heat + Magnetic media = bad.
13:00 The sounds it made when it died was just satisfying, lovely!
Sounded like an engine lmao but like a really depressing motorcycle engine
Please make a disassembly video of your dead pcmcia drive ! I want to see how they managed to put all the mechanism for a magnetic drive in a such small volume !

You needed that jumble of components for a meager FOURTY MB of storage??? Compact flash & thumb drives aside, it's no wonder this thing tanked miserably.
@@xsychoreese9877 You can use other storage solutions of that time period as a point of comparison. Take Iomega's own Zip drive, for example: it was a single unit that only required a connection for power and parallel or SCSI to the computer. This thing required, what - half a dozen separate components? It's completely absurd engineering.
this vid is clikbait 😉
Booooo!

Is it possible to give a RUclips comment a thumbs up and a thumbs down simultaneously?
LGR: Nat Geo of vintage computing. Love your channel, takes me back to when I started to work with computers more seriously.
Hell yea some oddware to brighten my day
This is really the only thing keeping my going.
Dude that IBM Microdrive looks so friggen cool! You should def do an Oddware episode on it!!
HipZip was my first mp3 player. I selected it because it was the cheapest per MB at the time and I liked swappable storage. It was pretty solid, actually.
I once considered getting one of these to complement the two external Zip drives I'd bought some time earlier. At that time the Zip's 100MB capacity and (relatively) low price for the drive and discs made it a very attractive deal (100 MB on one disc? WOW!). But the Clik drive came out about the time that blank CD-Rs and CD-RWs were coming down in price and could hold more than 10x what a 40MB Clik disc could so I decided not to gamble my money on one. Another reason being that back then most desktop systems didn't come with a slot (PCM-CIA?) for plugging in the drive. This drive was better suited for laptop use and back then laptops were hideously expensive. BTW, I still have those two Zip drives, I haven't plugged them in in ages, though. IIRC, they were SCSI units or at least one of them was since I used to use it with my various Amigas (actually, IIRC, I also had a SCSI card in my PC).
Didn't even know this existed. I switched from Zip to Jazz drives as quick as I could.
You mean... as CLIK as i could?
I'll show myself the way out.
I think that by the time people bought those (you said early 2000's) USB flash drives were starting to come onto the market (and granted, while they weren't all that spacious to begin with) by about 2004, we did have 64MB flash drives available so it's likely that this Clik disk system was a bit too late, perhaps an effort by IOMega to hold onto a dying market when everyone started to move to USB flash drives starting around that time.
You always upload around lunch, which is when I'm able to watch videos. Yeah, I should be social, but why should I if LGR uploads?
Maybe I'll do that.
For some reason I think these are still incredibly cool looking disks for whatever reason. Looks cool but with limited application.
I have to admit, that design and build quality reallz does look great even today. At least for that base drive. Great video as always
Maybe not as convenient by today's means, but I gotta commend Iomega for creating one of the first proprietary ecosystems of storage devices, before a product ecosystem was even a thing! Also, Iomega's branding and design language is nothing short of amazing.
A typically good video: thank you. I hope you'll look into the Jaz drive next. I had two Zip drives (100 and 250MB) but the Jaz drive I only saw in advertisements.
Yeah, those things were always too expensive for me, I made do with my Zip 100 with half the disks dead inside 3 months.
I sold a few Jaz drives. Click drive? Nope.
What an interesting form of removable storage. It seems, what they were going for was a miniaturized floppy disk. If this had come out maybe five years before it did, I bet it would have been really successful. Good idea for the time, just too late to market.
Man. Seeing your videos increase in production value over the years is amazing. Great content!
Thank you!
it's funny now that sd cards and even micro sd cards are approaching the 1TB mark. whilst still being stupidly tiny.
All these overcomplicated obsolete physical media are great.
Sometimes I wish we lived in a internetless world so all physical media could be back.
I remember working in a computer store, and the Iomega rep trying to introduce these to us about a year before they came out. And not a single one of us thought these were going to make anything better. Cool looking, but pretty much pointless. That poor rep was the most defeated man, trying to push these things.
Love your vids Clint
Thank you!
Im still handling and maintaining legacy storage and servers. Click drive is lightyears away and far more advanced. It gives me a big smile knowing that the company i work with still don't plan on migrating their data into modern storage.
Damn! Great childhood memories! I had some of these together with an Iomega HipZip: www.activewin.com/reviews/hardware/zip/hipzip/images/disks.jpg
It was really nice walking around with a bunch of MP3s playing from this tiny disk. The HipZip was really cool and not much larger than a regular tape walk man. And I also messed around with WMA encoding so I could fit more songs on those 40 megabytes.
Seems quite interesting, looks like something Star Trek would have used for futuristic storage.
"Damn, those alien bastards are gonna pay for cliking up my ride"
I thin you missed the hilarious xD flash cards. The name of it being funnier than anything :-D
3:51 for satisfying click sound. You're welcome.
I've got one of the iomega PCMCIA Clik drive 2 years ago and it deads after my first attempt to copy the files with it. Really low quality on those tiny disks.
Everything about the camera kit just seems so cumbersome and roundabout, all to transfer a "small" 64MB CF card onto a "large" 40MB clik. Gee I wonder why this failed.
64MB in 1999 -- 2005 would have been *very* expensive.
I remember spending nearly $50 for a 32MB CF around that time.
Funny how one of their products was named the exact thing that made them infamous. The Click of Death.
Love to hear the W95 Startup sound. Kinda like the 1995 PSX start up; nostalgia
Too bad you didn't let us hear the operation sounds when the drive is reading/writing...
Love when I get a notification for LGR and I happen to be online... WOOT WOOT Thx Clint!
These disks have a strong cyberpunk vibe to them. Very cool.
Reminds me of the Mini-Disc.
Discovered I have a couple blank mini-disks and now it's bugging me I have nothing that can read/write to them or use them at all, tempted to hunt down a USB capable device that can run them
Recorded a bunch of live stuff on MD, not as bad as everyone made it to be.
All those Clik! camera peripherals look Sega 32X-esque.
PCMCIA to Compact Flash adaptors are often used in the Amiga community to act as hard drives.
SuperDisk was a cool format. Similar to zip disks (with a little more capacity at 120 MB), but they were compatible with regular floppy disks too. So you could clone your 1.44mb disks with it too. :)
Probably not the best design, though it was innovative for its' time.
It most certainly did provide a learning tool for others.
No, I've never actually used one of these; I had seen it once, but I was a bit too young to comprehend it.
Hey Clint, you're looking really well. Thanks so much for your videos. I never knew that watching someone go thrifting and discuss pieces of tech (that I had little prior interest in!) could be such great therapy during this current low point I'm experiencing. I've seen many comments about people enjoying your videos during depressive or difficult phases; the fact that your honest, enthusiastic self and your well-made videos have helped so many get through little rough patches in life is something you should be incredibly proud of.
I have one of those and 3 disks.. It makes a cool noise when writing
Interesting that they called it "Clik!" given their association with the "Click of Death" with Zip drives...
Yes they discovered it was a bad choice....
i still have mine and i still used it
Cool. What do you use it for?
mp3's from laptops that dont have a cd rom and deststop wallpaper
These things look like UMDs lol
Clint! Drive
Great video! (oooh that Win 95 startup theme ding ding ding) By 2000 I was using my 4X CD-R burner for backing up and was hardly using my Zip drive.
Didn’t we have cd-roms in 1999?
PunkHippie1971 CDR aren't rewritable.
And he mentioned CDRW.
PunkHippie1971 yes but they were not conveniently re-writable.
We used ours with Windows CE based hand held PC’s that didn’t have optical drives and whilst a bunch of Hand Held PC 2000 devices had USB ports CE drivers didn’t seem to exist for anything (including f#&@ing mice FFS?!) never mind CD writers.
ROMS yes.
Many people were still a lot of years away from a writer, though
I was a year away from my first CD-R drive, and I don't recall the RWs being all that cheap even then.... I think I still had my Zip drive, but half the disks were screwed.
16:30 I remember this standing on my own store's shelf in Germany, getting older day by day, and not a single customer buying it; occasionally asking about it.
You stop and wonder, what, in the world, were they thinking?
And i know this is from another time, but the question stands on the basis of the fact that, this is a dog's chow. It really is. It wants to be portable, but you need a man pouch to use it, it wants to be useful, but really can't compete with anything on the market from the new age, it wants to look cool, but the design was form around function...
Who are these people at iOmega that thought they knew design, marketing, marketability, prices, the world around them?
Boggles the mind, it really does.
Worst part about this is, this kind of stuff exists today, only problem is, being that we have BigCorp we're left without options, you have to swallow the pill regardless of how many edges there are.
And it spans across all kinds of platforms. Games, tools, computers, phones, software. There's no punishment incurred by bad design, not one that translates, anyways.
People like you make the world boring.
I actually have an 2002 acer laptop that has the reader of this media build in and never new want it was used for.... thanks now I know
Ooh, NiMH battery. That'll be good for about 20 minutes of use.
saturnotaku Ni-MH actually has about the same power per volume as Li-Ion ones in average, just slightly less. The power per weight is it's achiles heel.
Maybe you're confusing with Ni-Cd ones?
I remember being completely blown away when the 100 MB ZipDisks came out during the 90s when I was a teenager. Oh, it was at a local CompUSA too. Yet another relic from another time :)
Now I'm watching an HD video over a phone that has 128gb of storage and 8gbs of RAM. Amazing how far we have come.
so.... basically, the original Clik-bait?
And they made an Adam Sandler movie based on this?!?
I have a few of the PCMCIA card reader versions, funny, it still works in windows 10, but most new laptops don't even have PCMCIA ports so no use there. I've found that the Clik Drive doesn't work on all PCMCIA equipped machines, it only works on a couple of my laptops, regardless of OS.
I have the parallel port version as well, I can say it loads just as slowly in the PCMCIA card slot...the slow down is the media itself not the connection. I bought the PCMCIA reader for $10, the kit with the parallel port adapter & dock for $29 both off ebay a few months ago. Not even sure why I bought them, just thought it was interesting.
Ahh amn, the Fuji Finepix was my first digital camera, that was soooo cooool at the time not to have to pay to develop photos.
I actually want one of these now, the usb one specifically. I wonder if it works as a normal usb mass storage device. Would be pretty neat to pair up with some SBCs in like a pipboy build.. though i'd have to shrink it down if possible.
It's nice of you to put the metric system conversions 👍
The name "Iomega" still gives me PTSD flashbacks to the click of death that killed my Megazeux game library
i wonder if the readers were cheaper if it would have lasted longer.
Weird. I've never seen or heard of this before. Interesting video as always!
9:28 Jesus, that is a fucking mess haha. I'm glad times have changed. Interesting concept, though.
