I wouldn't say I've seen a 50% failure rate, but it's close to 1/3 over time. Zip disks were a bust from the beginning, in my opinion, mostly because, on the PC, there was no built-in SCSI. Even the IDE Zip drives had problems (especially the ones installed in Gateway PCs around 1998-2000). -- David W.
