Remember in 90's, there were Zip Drives considered cool, as they can hold a lot more data then normal floppy disks. Soon the CD-R comes in with huge storage facility and Zip is gone.
Now Iomega is taking Zip Drives back in market, but they going to call it Rev, it is a HDD split in half - the head and mechanisms are in the reader, and in each removable cartridge is just a platter, which holds 70GB.
These disks are quite well durable as the person at CES 2008 demo, constantly slamming it on the table showing they have proud on its durability. Therefore, you can easily carry them in either your pocket and in laptop carry bags, and that too without worrying about any damage.
There is no exact idea about its price and availability.

Well this is eaxctly what ZIP (one platter), JAZZ (multiple like those) and Syquest were. Just more density and more data to loose on next headcrash :-)
