Zip Disks

Originally published in 2000 this article remains popular with readers. The original text is published here along with a product update below. The ZIP drive has been around for quite a while now. If you’re not an early adopter of technology, and let’s face it, once bitten twice shy, then you probably haven’t got around to including a ZIP drive as part of your system yet. This is in spite often fact that all your friends and business associates probably have them and offer to send you data on a ZIP drive quite frequently.

Even in these days of monster hard drives, USB memory sticks and read/write CDs and DVDs, ZIP drives give you a great way to reliably and eficiently manage data. Being able to dedicate a disk to a project gives you a great way to organise information. Whether you are backing up projects to the ZIP drive or working directly from it, you will find that it is an easy and efficient way to keep your data close to hand yet securely stored.
