About these units
Zip 100 (Zip 100)
The Zip 100 drive stored 100 MB, offering a dramatic leap over floppy disk capacity. Released by Iomega in the mid-1990s, it became extremely popular for backups, graphics projects, and transporting large files. Graphic designers, office workers, and early multimedia users relied heavily on Zip drives during a period when hard drives were small and CDs were not yet convenient for rewritable storage. Zip disks represented an era of transitional storage—but also gained notoriety for the infamous "click of death," a mechanical failure that could render disks unreadable. Despite this, Zip drives were a defining feature of 1990s computing.
DVD (2 layer, 2 side) (DVD (2L, 2S))
The dual-layer, double-sided DVD provides the maximum DVD capacity: 17.1 GB. With two layers on each side, these discs offered exceptional storage for large software packages, high-definition video masters (before Blu-ray), and professional archival applications. However, they were rarely used in consumer markets due to cost, complexity, and the inconvenience of double-sided handling. They remain an interesting pinnacle of DVD engineering—pushing the medium to its physical limits.
