Applications
The Iomega Zip 250 drive was a widely used removable-disk storage device of the late 1990s and early 2000s, offering 250MB per disk at a time when floppy disks held only 1.44MB and writable optical media was just emerging as a mainstream option. The ATAPI/IDE internal version was commonly integrated into Dell and other OEM desktop PCs, particularly in business and creative workstation configurations. Zip drives served as the go-to medium for file transfer, backup, and portable storage in office, graphic design, prepress, and education environments. Today these drives remain sought after for reading legacy Zip 250 and Zip 100 disks (with 100MB disk support depending on firmware), recovering archived files from Zip media accumulated during that era, and for vintage computing enthusiasts restoring period-correct systems. The Z250ATAPI is compatible with standard IDE channels and works with any operating system that supports ATAPI removable drives, including Windows 9x through XP and compatible Linux kernels.
This Iomega Z250ATAPI 250MB IDE Zip Drive (Dell P/N 09J420) is in used condition. It was pulled from a working desktop environment where it was previously in service. The drive has been visually inspected; the black bezel and metal chassis show normal handling wear consistent with prior use. The IDE connector, Molex power connector, and jumper block appear intact with no visible damage. No Zip disk is included. Please review our photos and contact us with any questions before purchasing.
