The Overview of Zip Drive

To begin with, what is a Zip drive?

In the early 2000s, the Zip drive was no longer favored by mass portable storage.

However, the shell of a Zip disk is much thicker than that of a floppy disk.

In the Zip drive, the head flies in a manner similar to anHDD.

Linear actuators take advantage of voice coil actuation technology associated with modern hard disk drives.

Higher-capacity drives can read lower-capacity media.

250MB disks can be formatted to the same size in the same way.

The 750 MB drive has read-only support for 100 MB disks.

The 750 MB disk has no reflection points.

From 1999 to 2003, sales of Zip drives and disks steadily declined.
