Zip drive

Hardware data storage device developed by Iomega, similar to the Standard 1.44" floppy drive. What makes the Iomega zip drive unique is its capability to hold up to 100 MB of data or 250 MB of data on new drives, and the wide use of these drives. Because the zip diskettes are cheap media and commonly found, Zip Drives became very popular in late 1990s. Later, the Zip drives became less popular with the larger storage capabilities, uses, and cheaper CD-R and CD-RW drives and discs.

Below is a graphic image of an Iomega Zip diskette. This diskette is bigger than the standard floppy diskette and is made out of a lot harder plastic.
