i heard about it when it came out, but i dont seem to find any anymore, was it just a big failure?

I think the click of death killed it ;)

Actually, ZipDisks were quite popular in their day. In fact, more than 50 million Iomega Zip drives were sold worldwide!

Currently, Iomega has a 35GB "Rev" drive which takes a 35GB hard disk "cartridge"

They expect to have a 280GB model on the market by 2010.

Zipdisks might be antiquated, but Iomega is more than still in the game.

didnt hear about the iomega, but i have had a zipdisk b4 and even saw one on an auction a couple of days ago it was ok but didnt last that much in my opinion.

never liked the idea of the zipdisk so never bought one when it came out, sticking with cds and dvds is better.

i think i have mine somewhere in the house, i dont use it anymore ofcourse, i guess you could say it’s time ended, which is about to happen with disks too although they are lasting a bit because of the ability of instant tranfere rather than burning and because windows sometimes uses disks, however usb drives are starting to take over that and are also better, as long as the pc can read them before booting windows.

the idea of a zipdisk was good because compared to cds, it might be smaller, but still it cant be damaged as easily. i dont know about the rev drives, but they are probably very good too, i just didnt hear about them.

so it was not a failure but got a new version like dvds came after cds? and it is kind of strange that i dont see many adverts about those rev drives

It died its natural death .Superseeded by lo cost CDs DVDs and flash drives and falling costs of burners
