Re:>>> Don't Get Burned -- Read this before you buy your next PC. Jonathan Blackwood, Senior Technology Editor <<< Snip : Removable Storage Don't skimp on removable storage either. Humongous hard drives require larger storage devices to back up data. Iomega Zip drives, which hold 100MB per disk, have good market penetration, which improves the chances that you'll be able to share files with others. The new Imation SuperDisk LS-120 drives, with 120MB capacity, are backward compatible with ordinary 3.5-inch floppy disks, so you don't have to take up two drive bays. But because they're still rare on both desktop and notebook PCs, you won't find many other folks you can share data with using this format. Both of these drive types should add only $100 or so to the price of your PC. By the time you read this or soon after, another removable storage alternative should be available: HiFD drives (developed by Sony and Fuji) with a 200MB capacity and backward compatibility with 3.5-inch floppy disks. techweb.com The above tells me that Iomega's Zip Drive is rapidly becoming the Computer Industries removable storage standard .
