From Wikipedia

The Zip drive is a discontinued removable cartridge disk storage system sold by Iomega from 1995 to 2003. Considered medium-to-high-capacity at the time of its release, Zip disks were originally launched with capacities of 100 megabytes (MB), then 250 MB, and finally 750 MB. The format became the most popular of the superfloppy products, which filled a niche in the late 1990s portable storage market. Nonetheless, it was never popular enough to replace the standard 3+1⁄2-inch floppy disk. Zip drives fell out of favor for mass portable storage during the early 2000s as CD-RW and USB flash drives became prevalent. The Zip brand later covered internal and external compact disc (CD) writers known as Zip-650 or Zip-CD, despite the dissimilar technology.
