Zip Disk -

A zip drive is basically a floppy drive on steroids. The disks work in the same manner as a regular 3.5" floppy disk, except they can store up to 100 MB. A 3.5 floppy can only store 1.4MB.

In case you're wondering, no, you can't stick a zip drive into your 3.5" floppy drive and expect it to work. In fact, you would have to insert it with the assistance of a hammer (Zip disks are a slightly bigger than regular floppies). If you wanna use Zip disks, you'll need a Zip drive.
