Give your vintage setup a festive upgrade with this classic Iomega ZIP 100MB Portable USB Drive — a perfect nostalgic gift for collectors, retro-computing fans, or anyone preserving older files during the holiday season. This ZIP drive includes the original USB cable, power adapter and one ZIP cartridge. A wonderful time-capsule find for Christmas! // HISTORY Before cloud storage, before broadband, and long before USB sticks became universal, there was a moment in computing history where the Iomega ZIP drive changed everything. In a time when floppy disks struggled to hold even a few megabytes, the arrival of a 100 MB cartridge felt nothing short of revolutionary. For designers, students, and professionals of the late ’90s and early 2000s, it opened the door to real file mobility for the first time. This was pre-internet, when transferring large files meant carrying them physically from one machine to another — and the ZIP drive made that possible with reliability and speed that floppies could never match. For many, including myself, the ZIP became a daily companion. I used it starting with the PowerPC G3 era, when it was the go-to tool for moving graphics files, project backups, and system utilities. It was a cornerstone of creative workflows and a practical lifesaver in labs, studios, and classrooms everywhere. Today, the ZIP drive stands as a charming and functional piece of computing history — a reminder of a time when 100 megabytes felt like an entire universe of storage. // What’s Included: – Original Image Power adapter; – USB cable; – One ZIP 100MB cartridge (FYI: the included Zip cartridge may differ from the one shown in the photos, depending on availability at the time of payment); – Fully tested and working ZIP device*.
