| A Zip drive is a small, portable disk drive used primarily
for backing up and archiving personal computer files. The trademarked Zip
drive was developed and is sold by Iomega Corporation. Zip drives and disks
come in two sizes. The 100 megabyte size actually holds 100,431,872 bytes
of data or the equivalent of 70 floppy diskettes. There is also a 250 megabyte
drive and disk. The Iomega Zip drive comes with a software utility that
lets you copy the entire contents of your hard drive to one or more Zip
disks. |
