A Zip disk is a removable storage medium that provides random access to data, allowing users to read and write files quickly without needing to access the entire disk sequentially. Introduced by Iomega in the mid-1990s, it typically has a capacity of 100MB, 250MB, or 750MB. Zip disks were popular for data backup and transfer before being largely replaced by USB flash drives and other modern storage solutions.
