Speaking of the media being flexible.

When the Zip Drive began selling I wasn't wanting to buy one of them because a
couple years earlier I saw a 40MB SyQuest removable disk hard drive had Metal
media inside its plastic case.

The Zip Drive media was flexible as Flopoies are.

SyQuest staered advertising that they were going to make a EZ-135 Drive and I
waited until they sold it and got one because the media was metal just like the
platter in a HDD is .

SyQuest went out of business shortly later.
