I also used
(and continue to use) a lot of Zip disks, the 100MB
variety, with very low (almost nonexistent) failure rates. I don't use
them anywhere near as often or as "hard" as the others though.
I also had great success with Zip disks back in the day when 100MB was
all there was; I never had one fail, and I used them a LOT. They were
significantly more reliable than floppies at the time.
Yep, the Zip was the best way to set up a sneakernet. Before I had hardline
Internet at home and just dialed up, I would take Zips to work, download stuff
and take the disks home.
