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Today, Zip 100 is rarely used in practical applications; it serves mainly as a historical reference or in specialized technical discussions within data storage and digital measurement contexts.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", Ed)
A 3.5-inch floppy disk with Enhanced Density (ED) capacity used for data storage and transfer.
History/Origin
The 3.5-inch floppy disk was introduced in the late 1980s as a portable storage medium, replacing earlier 5.25-inch disks. Enhanced Density versions emerged in the 1990s to increase storage capacity, but the format was eventually phased out in favor of more modern storage solutions.
Current Use
The 3.5-inch floppy disk (ED) is largely obsolete, with minimal use today primarily for legacy systems, data recovery, or nostalgic purposes. It has been replaced by USB drives, external hard drives, and cloud storage.
