Image titled “Throwback Thursday — Iomega Zip drives.” Background: stylized desert sand dunes in warm tones. At center: a blue external Iomega Zip 100 drive next to a Fujifilm Zip 100MB cartridge. Caption text below the image: “Before USB flash drives were ubiquitous, the Iomega Zip drive was the way to move large files around between computers. The most popular of all ‘superfloppy’ drives, the removable Zip disk cartridges could store 100 MB when they launched, a truly astronomical amount of storage space at the time.” Bottom right: “vintage.computer.” Attribution text under the image referencing Yuri Litvinenko / 30pin, CC BY 2.0, via Wikimedia Commons, with source URL.
Before USB sticks took over, the Iomega Zip drive was the way to move big files from one machine to another. 100MB on a single disk felt unlimited at the time! #ThrowbackThursday #ZipDrive #Iomega #VintageComputer
