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.
Zip 250 (Zip 250)
The Zip 250 increased capacity to 250 MB, improving on the Zip 100 line while retaining backward compatibility. It served as a bridge to larger removable storage formats and remained popular until USB flash drives took over the portable storage market. Designers, schools, and offices used Zip 250 disks for medium-sized multimedia projects, backups, and file transfers. Its existence illustrates the rapid pace of storage innovation—and how even seemingly large capacities were quickly eclipsed.
