Don't understand your question. Zip drives were made primarily by Iomega. They required ZIP discs. There were a few utilities you could use to write files to them - Iomegaware was one, WINZIp was another etc.
I remember using Winzip to compress a file, but I don't remember having to use anything called a zip drive to store them, which is how I'm reading your post.
Yes, ZIP is a compression technology used to make ZIP files.
The ioMega ZIP drive was an external floppy drive that used removable cartridges for data storage.
The two are not related or connected.
ZIP files are still used today, ZIP drives are not.
