A Zip disk is a nonvolatile storage medium. This means that it retains data even when the power is turned off, allowing users to store and retrieve files without losing information. Zip disks were popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s for their portability and capacity compared to traditional floppy disks. However, they have largely been replaced by more modern storage solutions.
