Write short notes on zip disks.

Write short notes on zip disks.

---

Zip drives act as either external or internal devices.
- The Zip disk is found in a hard plastic case, and like the diskette, it uses a magnetic material for double-sided recording & reading.
- Zip drives are larger & their read/write heads can operate more efficiently than those on a regular floppy disk drive.
- Zip disks are usually portable.
- Each disk can hold up to 100 MB.
