Just when we were wondering why Iomega, the maker of Zip drives and other obsolete storage devices, even bothers anymore, there’s news that they’re coming out with a new high capacity storage format called the Removable Rigid Disk with a capacity of 35GB. The disks will cost between $39 and $49, so the cost per gigabyte won’t be quite as low as you could get using recordable DVDs, but on the other hand there’s something nice about being able to back up an entire hard drive to a handful, rather than a stack, of disks.
