Zip Drives came out when cd burners were still terrible slow and expensive. 40+ minutes per disk was not fast enough for daily backups. Especially when classes were between 1-3 hours. (I think this was roughly circa 96)
And they were only ~20 bucks a pop if I remember correctly. Not bad if you ask me, especially considering that they were much much cheaper than the syquest drives/disks that they replaced.
Syquest disks were like 2x -3x the price per MB I think.
Yeah the click of death sucked but none of us found out about this until it was too late.
