Iomega Clik! 40MB Disk Drive

"Clik" missed me.
From the time when I was doing service PC - I have an internal TAPE, external -ZIP and JAZZ - to this day working without a problem, i no longer use them 

[Halcyon]

It's an unfortunate product name considering the wide-spread issue of the ZIP drive's "click of death".

I don't remember this Clik. I have a Zip drive and almost bought a Jazz, but hard drives started getting bigger and cheaper quickly and it became no longer necessary. I copied everything off my seven remaining Zip disks several years ago and retired the drive to a box in a closet.

It was dirt cheap CD-R media that killed the Zip and Jazz drives for me. I still have one of each around that I use occasionally to transfer files to vintage Macs but otherwise USB thumb drives and occasionally CDs do the job.

do you all remember the ls-120 floppy drives? it looked like a floppy disk but stored 120 meg, there was also the ls240, (never came to the usa asfaik)
didnt last long due to the zip and jazz disks..

there have been so many disk formats over the years, i don't recall the iomega click at all though... must have passed me by!

like james_s says, i remember burning CDs for a single use even if it was just a few mb in size, cd-r disks were and are still so cheap.

Thing I remember was a customer's computer with a a 'Zip backup' program which would only allow you to restore the backup from the Zip drive, only ran after being installed into Windows, and would only restore to the original location.

Which, immediately reinfected the OS with the virus which had destroyed the data in the first place.
