What are the best Zenless Zone Zero Disk Drives? Disk Drives are items in Zenless Zone Zero that can be added to character builds to give increase their base stats and provide an additional boost in combat. Like Genshin Impact artifacts, Disk Drives are used in sets, and combining the right disks with the right characters can give a considerable advantage in battle.
ZZZ Disk Drives are unlocked via the music store, Bardic Needle, run by adorable android Elfy. Once you unlock the Zenless Zone Zero Rally system, you unlock tuning, a separate gacha and upgrade system for Disk Drives in the anime game. Having pulled some disks, you can apply them to your Zenless Zone Zero characters in their equip screen. Below, we’ve compiled the best Zenless Zone Zero Disk Drives to look out for, as well as how to equip and dismantle them.
What are ZZZ Disk Drives?
There are six Disk Drive slots on each of your ZZZ characters which can be filled with a Disk Drive. Each individual Disk Drive buffs one of your characters base stats. However, by equipping a set of two or four matching Disk Drives, you also gain an additional passive effect.
How to get ZZZ Disk Drives
At the very start of the game, you meet Elfy, and are tasked with collecting some materials for her. Continue the story for some time to unlock Rally Commissions, at which point you hear from Elfy again, and she opens the Bardic Needle music shop for tuning.
Tuning is another gacha mechanic, separate to ZZZ Signal Searches and specific to Disk Drives. Inside Elfy’s shop, which is just across the street from your video store, you can tune one or ten times. Each draw pulls one or ten random Disk Drives, and each costs five Plating Agents. Plating Agents themselves are earned though Rally Commissions.

How to equip ZZZ Disk Drives
When you unlock a Disk Drive, you’ll notice it has a roman numeral associated with it, and this relates to the slot in which it can be equipped. Disk Drives can then be allocated to that slot on any character from the Squad select screen.
Zenless Zone Zero disk drives can only be equipped to their specific slot. For example, you must collect a Mammoth Electro II, III, V, and VI to be able to equip the full four-set. Four Mammoth Electro II disks cannot be equipped to the same character.
Dismantling Disks
You can dismantle any Disk Drives you don’t want, with each disk returning one Plating Agent of its respective rank: A B-rank disk, for example, returns one B-rank Plating Agent. Five Plating Agents are required to pull one disk, so dismantling five unwanted Disk Drives will give you the chance to pull one new Disk.
As each unique piece of music is beautifully complex, so is the Zenless Zone Zero Disk Drive system, but we hope this helps you get to grips with the best disks to equip to your characters. Speaking of your characters, make sure you’ve got enough ZZZ Film to draw from the current Zenless Zone Zero banners, or use the latest ZZZ codes to get more.
