ZIP disks are small and rather practical for use as many of other Mac and
PC users have them. Therefore they would be ideal for interchanging or
transporting large pieces of files or progs or similar. But as they are
rather slow they are not practical for expanding your storage capabilities
in a way of storing large files for later manipulation (i.e. image files
or movies for editing). In that case you woould be better of with a
EZFlyer as it has greater capacity and is fast enough even to play AV
Movies...
In short:
ZIP - compatible and widely used, rather safe, compact and small, slow
EZFlyer - greater capacity, fast, not so widely used, can suffer damage if
dropped or stored inprobably
