Product Description

The solution was so simple, so complete, and so needed when the 100MB Zip drive first came on the scene, that it's no wonder the Zip drive has earned a rock-solid reputation in the PC world as the preferred way to save, backup and collect your important files. Now, the 250MB version of the classic 100MB blue Zip drive is available, extending the Zip product family and the technology that's meeting the needs of the digital age. In addition, the amount of digital information is skyrocketing! Consider the size of even basic office application files, presentations, digital music, scanned family photos, digital video, tax files, financial records, not to mention the millions upon millions of web pages packed with information.

You'll download, and piece together a growing collection of content that's important to you. Your Zip 250 drive should serve as the safe deposit box for you...
