Launched in 1995, the Iomega Zip drive is one of the most successful personal computer products ever. Home and business users have adopted the Zip platform by the millions, cementing its reputation as the reliable, high-capacity removable storage standard that is rugged, convenient and secure. With firmware-based password protection, drag-and-drop file management, and high read-write speeds (the Zip 750MB drive outpaces most CD-RW drives in rewritable performance), the Zip platform continues to be a favorite portable storage solution for users today.
What is a Zip drive?
A Zip drive is a removable storage device that securely stores all your important computer data magnetically. Iomega Zip drives and Zip disks are durable, portable, easy-to-use, and extremely efficient - one Zip 250MB disk can store the same amount of data as 173 floppy disks!
Which Zip Drive is right for me?
Choose from either 100MB, 250MB or the NEW 750MB - the fastest Zip drive ever - to back up and protect your important data. Each Zip drive is easy-to-use, secure, and extremely durable. You can choose between built-in (internal) or portable (external) versions of the reliable Zip drive, depending on your needs. And each Zip drive comes with Iomega Automatic Backup software and Iomega Sync to automatically backup and synchronize your file revisions.
