It comes in a number of capacities: 100, 250 and 750 Mb
There are three different capacities of ZIP disks, 100 MB, 250 MB, and 750 MB. A 100 MB disk holds 104,857,600 bytes, a 250 MB disk holds 262,144,000 bytes, and a 750 MB disk holds 786,432,000 bytes.
The original Zip Disks (1994) were 100 Mb, but this was expanded to 250 Mb (1998) and then to 750 Mb (2002). Finally, Iomega saw the handwriting on the wall (flash drives, camera memory) and put out a Zip-650, which was a standard external CD burner, and began marketing USB drives. They also marketed the Ditto Tape Drives, Clik 40 Mb drives, and the Jaz external 2 GB drive.
Its not 1 MB disk, it is 1.44 MB disk.. We can store approx 1509950 characters. However if you are considering only 1 MB space, we can store approx 1048576 characters in 1 MB space..

Zip disks can hold 100 megabytes. Today's hard drives usually hold 250 gigabytes, smaller ones are around 100 gigabytes, and large ones are upwards of 500 gigabytes. One gigabyte is 1000 megabytes, so the typical hard drive can hold 2,500 times more than a zip disk. To answer the question in one word, no.
Yes, Zip discs are considerably larger than standard floppy disks. A standard floppy disc is 90mm × 94mm x 3mm. Zip discs are much wider longer and thicker at 97mm x 98.5mm x 6mm. This is because internally the platter of a Zip disk had a much higher spin speed and required space to spin free of any resistance.
2000+ 1gb=1024mb 2gb=2048mb
Typically 1.4 MB.
DVD by far. A DVD can store 4.7 gigabytes of data. A floppy disk can store 1.44 megabytes of data. 1000 megabytes = 1 gigabyte.

A classical Zip drive is a magnetic mass storage device, similar in design to a floppy disk. However, it can store far more data, some over 600 MB. Nowadays, the name "Zip" can also refer to one of several other devices made by Iomega, such as CD drives and hard drives.
Although formatting the disc reduces the total capacity, a 1.44mb disc will store 1 mb
