About these units
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.
Word (word)
A word is a unit of data whose size depends on the computer architecture, traditionally 16 bits but now often 32 or 64 bits. The word size determines the natural chunk of data a processor handles in a single operation, affecting register width, memory addressing, arithmetic precision, and overall system performance. As architectures evolved from early 8-bit systems to modern 64-bit CPUs, the meaning of "word" expanded too. Words are deeply tied to machine instructions, where addressing modes, opcodes, and data structures rely on word alignment. Thus, the word is both a conceptual and structural building block for computing hardware.
