Zip drives were actually somewhat speedy if you had a SCSI or ATAPI model. The parallel port versions could be a little slow, but that depended on what kind of mode your parallel port was set for. ECP mode was ideal.
Reliability was a problem though. Stay away from the Zip Plus (hybrid SCSI/parallel model).
