@hp @Doomstrike Skimming the history of zip drives, I'm not surprised. They had a 4-year reign between data growth making floppies impractical and CD-R taking over, and only shipped a single design in that time. Probably different manufacturing spins, but that's not a ton of time to iterate on reliability. And then in 1998 they got a class action lawsuit for high failure rates, apparently?

Certainly doesn't paint a picture of being a paragon of reliability.
