[Request] Cheapest zip discs

    I'm looking foa a small number (as in two or three at most) 250meg zip discs. Maybe one or two 100meg discs as well. Probably not worth getting them delivered with such a small order.

    Looking for the cheapest price obviously!

    Komplett have them for a shade under 15 which seems a little high to be honest. I suppose I could get a hard drive as well (need one really) to knock away the postage but price still seems a little on the high side.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Why would you bother with a 100mb zip disk with all the other better value for money storage options that are out there. Its not like Zips drives are known for being a very robust medium either.

    Cheaper than Komplett, I know of people who've used them, seen a few people here mention them too, reliable and cheap. Check out there other stuff.

    Most designers know the pain of zip drives especially the click of death. Buy a 256 flash drive.

    yes, but 7 euro > more expensive flash drive as a student. Also if anyone could give me a few zip disks if they have them lying around I'd appreciate it.

    Fair point. But I wouldn't trust them for any really important data.

    Same to you, this is why backup is important :)
