The Zip drive is a "superfloppy" disk drive that has all of the standard 3 + 1 ⁄ 2-inch floppy drive's convenience, but with much greater capacity options and with performance that is much improved over a standard floppy drive. However, Zip disk housings are similar to but slightly larger than those of standard 3 + 1 ⁄ 2-inch floppy disks. [2]
The PocketZip is a medium-capacity floppy disk storage system introduced by Iomega in 1999. It uses very small (2×2×0.7in, 5×5×1.8cm) 40 MB disks. [1] It was originally known as the "Clik!" drive until the click of death class action lawsuit regarding mass failures of Iomega's original Zip drives, after which it was renamed "PocketZip".
KryoFlux reads "flux transitions" from floppy disks at a very fine resolution. [6] It can also read disks originally written with different bit cell widths and drive speeds, with a normal fixed-speed drive. [7] The software is available for Microsoft Windows, [8] Mac OS and Linux. The KryoFlux controller plugs into a standard USB port, and ...

The original Zip disk's 100MB capacity was a huge improvement over the decades-long standard of 1.44MB standard floppy disks. The Zip drive became a common internal and external peripheral for IBM-compatible and Macintosh personal computers. However, Zip drives sometimes failed after a short period, which failure was commonly referred to as the ...
Under Windows XP's sfloppy.sys driver, a USB SuperDisk drive will appear as a 3.5″ floppy disk drive, receiving either the drive letter A: (if there is no floppy in the machine) or B: (if there already is one). This enables use by software that expects a floppy drive when 1.44 MB or 720 KB disks are inserted. 120 MB and 240 MB disks are also ...
Internal and external 1GB Iomega Jaz drives with media. The Jaz drive [1] [2] is a removable hard disk storage system sold by the Iomega company from 1995 to 2002.. Following the success of the Iomega Zip drive, which in its original version stores data on high-capacity floppy disks with 100 MB nominal capacity, and later 250 and then 750 MB, the company developed and released the Jaz drive.
