Zip 100
Zip 100 is a data storage unit used to measure the capacity of storage devices, equivalent to 100 bytes of digital information.
History/Origin
The Zip 100 unit originated from the development of the Zip 100MB removable disk storage system in the late 1990s, where it was used informally to denote small data capacities in bytes for specific technical contexts.
Current Use
Today, Zip 100 is rarely used in practical applications; it serves mainly as a historical reference or in specialized technical discussions within data storage and digital measurement contexts.
Floppy Disk (3.5", Hd)
A 3.5-inch high-density floppy disk is a magnetic storage medium used for data storage and transfer, typically holding up to 1.44 MB of data.
History/Origin
Introduced in the late 1980s, the 3.5-inch HD floppy disk became a standard for portable data storage, replacing earlier 5.25-inch disks. It was widely used until the rise of USB drives and cloud storage in the early 2000s.
Current Use
Modern usage of 3.5-inch HD floppy disks is virtually obsolete, limited to archival purposes, vintage computing, and collectors' items. They are rarely used in contemporary data storage solutions.
