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.
