organizing, copying, storing,
and transporting large files
easy. The Zip drive uses a

more storage space than a
floppy disk. A Zip disk
offers extra space for the
following types of tasks:
➜
Storing files from the
Internet
➜
Backing up files from
the hard drive
➜
Storing games
➜
Saving school or class
projects
➜

library with image,
sound, and video files
