Iomega Jaz Disk Drives have lost their sizzle.

The Jaz drive was a removable disk storage system, introduced by the Iomega company in 1995. The product has since been discontinued. The Jaz disks were originally released with a 1 GB capacity (they were 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.
