Zip Drives

Back to Hardware Tutorials

A less common, and somewhat less economical, removable medium is the 100 MB or 250 MB Iomega Zip Drive. This will allow you to download files up to 100 MB or 250 MB, respectively, in size to a removable disk that is slightly larger than the 3 ½" floppy disk. 100 MB Iomega Zip Drive disks are for sale in the Campus Store.  Many of the computers in the Library/Media Center have 100 MB Zip drives on them, but be advised that we are phasing out this technology in favor of the CD-R.
