Zip disk
A Zip disk, and a CD-ROM are two completely different storage devices ! The Zip Disk was (in simple terms) a high-capacity disk, It was superseded by the invention of the CD-ROM, which offered much higher reliability and capacities. The invention of the Zip-disk was attributed to its marketing company Iomega - no single person has been credited with its invention.
A zip disk is a removable storage device that is designed to fit in a zip drive. Zip disks were first produced in 1995. Zip disks cannot be read by any other drive, and a zip drive cannot read any other disks.

210 mm
250mb is the capacity for a zip disk The early Zip drives had just 100MB.
An internal Zip will use about the same as a floppy drive. An Iomega external Zip uses a 5 Volt, 1 Amp supply. So 5 watts max.A USB zip is rated at 5V and 0.5 amp. V x A = W so, that would eat 2.5 Watts.That is during disk access and while ejecting and setting the disk. you could expect it to use almost nothing while idle.
A disk drive is a device that computers can use to read and write information on computer disk. An example of one is the hard disk drive.
A Iomega zip drive is a disk drive that is very similar to a floppy disk drive. Iomega is the company who produces these disk drives, and are compatible with Mac and IBM computer systems.
