I had one of those beast: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zip_drive Probably still have it somewhere among the dust.

I replaced my jazz drive when burners became more popular and cheaper. I could buy 100 cdrs for the price of a zip disk. I only had a zip drive to begin with so I could work on my high school projects in computer graphics class from home (ah, going back and forth between Windows and Mac in 1999... it sucked)

I remember the smell of a new pack of discs.

Zip disks were originally launched with capacities of 100 MB, then 250 MB, and finally 750 MB.

Congrats, you win! 🥳

I had my best porn on one of those as a youth (because it meant nothing visible on my computer unless I wanted it to be) and then the drive died one day. RIP hours of downloading, plus all my games and music on my more legit disks.
