The Jaz drive was a removable hard disk storage system sold by the Iomega company from 1995 to 2002. Following the success of the Iomega Zip drive, which original version stores data on high-capacity floppy disks with 100 MB nominal capacity, and later 250 and then 750 MB, the company developed and released the Jaz drive. First shipping to OEMs in December 1995, the Jaz drive featured 1 GB capacity per removable disk. A new Jaz drive model, released in February 1998, increased the individual disk capacity to 2 GB.
