Iomega stated that fewer than 1 in 200 Jaz and Zip drive owners were affected by the click of death.

Competitor to Iomega's Jaz drive ).

The REV was in many ways a successor to Iomega's Jaz drive, which used a similar removable hard-disk-platter concept.

However the Jaz design did not put the drive motor in the cartridge.

The Jaz drive was a removable disk storage system, introduced by the Iomega company in 1995.

The Jaz disks were originally released with a 1 GB capacity ( there was also 540 MB, but it was unreleased ) in a 3½-inch form factor, which was a significant increase over Iomega's most popular product at the time, the Zip drive with its 100 MB capacity.

The Jaz drive used only the SCSI interface ( the IDE internal version is rare ), but an adapter known as Jaz Traveller was available to connect it to a standard Parallel Port.

The capacity was later increased to 2 GB through a drive and disk revision in 1998, before the Jaz line was ultimately discontinued in 2002.

While the Zip drive was marketed as a high-capacity floppy disk, originally the Jaz drive was directed to a higher-end market and saw little in the SOHO or consumer markets.

Compared to the SCSI Zip drive, which used DB25 connectors, the Jaz used the HD50 connectors and supported ID 0-6.

Even so, the Jaz drive has its own share of problems, and may still corrupt data as a result of damaged read / write heads.

Earlier Jaz drives were prone to overheating and in some cases, loading mechanism jams left a cartridge stuck in the drive.

The Jaz cartridge outside its case is prone to getting dust / grit into it through the hole where the motor drives the platters, and any dust built up on the external case could end up in the drive with the next insertion.

The later REV drive was a new attempt to take on the market that the Jaz drive could not, using similar technology.

After the situation with Nas cooled down, Jay-Z went on to diss Jaz first on a track released by DJ Kay Slay featuring Freeway, Geda K, Young Chris, and Memphis Bleek Called " Fuck Jaz-O AKA Jaz Ho " and later on his album The Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse.

Exposure to large stadium crowds and the intensity of the whole rock-and-roll business provided a stimulus for the group to start to develop a more rock-oriented sound to its razor-sharp electronic dance music, and 1991's As Is EP ( produced by Killing Joke's Jaz Coleman, Flood, Depeche Mode's Alan Wilder, and Barry Adamson ) saw the band adopt a more traditional songwriting approach, and it paved the way for the aforementioned Ebbhead.

The Jaz never attained as much success or market penetration as the Zip, and explanations for this vary.
