About these units
DVD (1 layer, 2 side) (DVD (1L, 2S))
A single-layer, double-sided DVD offers 9.4 GB, with 4.7 GB per side, requiring the user to physically flip the disc. Double-sided DVDs were ideal in early DVD-era box sets and archival applications, but their inconvenience—no label side, no artwork, and manual flipping—limited consumer adoption. They represent a transitional form of optical media designed to increase capacity before dual-layer technologies became mainstream.
Zip 100 (Zip 100)
The Zip 100 drive stored 100 MB, offering a dramatic leap over floppy disk capacity. Released by Iomega in the mid-1990s, it became extremely popular for backups, graphics projects, and transporting large files. Graphic designers, office workers, and early multimedia users relied heavily on Zip drives during a period when hard drives were small and CDs were not yet convenient for rewritable storage. Zip disks represented an era of transitional storage—but also gained notoriety for the infamous "click of death," a mechanical failure that could render disks unreadable. Despite this, Zip drives were a defining feature of 1990s computing.
