About these units
Jaz 2GB (Jaz 2GB)
The Jaz 2GB doubled the capacity of the original Jaz drive, offering significant storage for video, audio, and engineering applications. It appealed to professional users pushing the limits of late-1990s computing—desktop publishing houses, video editors, and 3D modelers. Despite its innovation, the Jaz 2GB was ultimately overtaken by more reliable, cheaper technologies such as CDs, DVDs, and eventually USB flash drives. Jaz drives occupy a unique place in storage history as powerful but short-lived solutions.
DVD (1 layer, 2 side) (DVD (1L, 2S))
A single-layer, double-sided DVD offers 9.4 GB, with 4.7 GB per side, requiring the user to physically flip the disc. Double-sided DVDs were ideal in early DVD-era box sets and archival applications, but their inconvenience—no label side, no artwork, and manual flipping—limited consumer adoption. They represent a transitional form of optical media designed to increase capacity before dual-layer technologies became mainstream.
