The zip 100's bigger brother but not as popular
Review of Iomega Zip 250 by Mcsm

Advantages: Good temporary storage space
Disadvantages: No real need to upgrade from the zip 100

There's little doubt that the Iomega Zip drive is now the market leader in removable storage devices, ahead of its nearest rivals the LS-120 and Sony's HiFD drives. However the Zip's 100MB of storage has started to seem a little miserly given that the demand for capacity continues to rise - driven in part by the increasing use of graphics, video and sound files on the Internet and company-wide intranets. But the new Zip 250 has leapt ahead of its ...
...easy to see why the Iomega Zip drives are so popular. They are easy to set up, easy to use and they offer good all-round performance at a reasonable cost. If you already have a Zip 100 there's no need to upgrade, unless of course you do find that 100MB is not enough. On the other hand, if you're looking for a new sub-gigabyte removable storage device then this is the one to go for. ... Read review

Great drive, just make sure you know someone else with one
Review of Iomega Zip 250 by yhwman

Advantages: Fairly large, fast
Disadvantages: Smaller than CD-R, less people can read it, Iomega software is hopeless and uneeded

When it comes to removable storage it’s really about CD-R/RW versus Zip. And there is no clear winner, as it all comes down to do you know anyone with a CD/Zip drive. Obviously lots of people have CD drives and so can read CD-R/RW discs but far less have the capability to actually write them. I choose a Zip drive because a lot of the computers at my University have them, so it was a no brainer. But now the drive itself. It’s just under half the capacity ...
...discs themselves are sturdier than CD-R’s, as they come in a case and so aren’t scratchable. The drive is 3.5” format and so can be mounted in either the small or large drive bays, unlike CD-R’s which only fit in the larger. To sum up, the drive is very good but be sure you would benefit more from a Zip than you would from a CD-R/RW. ... Read review

Manufacturer's product description

The dawn of the digital age, when the advent of the 100MB Zip drive met the challenges of the digital information era. It was the beginning of the SuperFloppy category of removable storage. Millions of Zip drives later, the Iomega Zip drive solution is the preferred way to save, backup and collect your important files. In keeping with Iomega's commitment to respond to customers needs, Iomega is proud to announce the newest extension to the Zip family-the Iomega Zip 250 drive and disks. The 250MB Zip drive delivers a time-tested, feature-rich SuperFloppy with the highest capacity of any product in its category. The new drive comes in two flavors: parallel port (for PC's) and SCSI (for Mac's or PC's with a SCSI connection). Zip 250 SCSI drive users will benefit from a performance boost, up to 56 times faster than standard floppy drives and 1.4 times faster than external CD-ROM drives. Best of all, current Zip 100 drive users need not worry about their investment in 100MB Zip media-the new Zip 250 drive reads and writes 100MB Zip disks as well as 250MB Zip disks (optimum performance is gained using 250MB media).
