story imagePersonally, I was a big fan of Zip Drives back in the day when 56K dial-up was fast and our Macs came in bright, candy colors . But Zip Drives sure take a beating in this article.

The topic is the worst storage mediums [sic] of all time and it's hosted by ExtremeTech. Zip Drives take some abuse, as does reel to reel tape, but there are some surprises too. Not surprisingly, the article concludes on a sense of optimism, in this glorious age where everything you produce can be safely and securely stored in your butt .

...JAZZ (the 1GB version) on the other hand, not really. But if you want crappy storage, besides the 2.88Mb 3.5" floppy disks, I'd recommend the plethora of magneto-optical drives and media. The media itself wasn't as crappy as the drives, that tended to last a year or so.
