Iomega SUPER DVD WRITER 12X ( 33044 )

Rating:
Summary: Not recommended
Review: I bought this device and it failed to work with my standard Dell laptop running Windows XP. After various attempts by the Iomega help line to get it to work (they tried), they admitted it had a problem and told me to wait whilst they shipped a new one. No way did I want risk wasting more time with a similar drive. So I replaced it for a Philips (8x series) and that worked first time. The Philips uses Nero software and they work well togther.

Summary: Works perfectly
Review: This is my first experience with a DVD Writer, so the one star review really made me think twice about buying this product. I checked some other product reviews online and they were good, so I went on and bought this model, having been pleased with other Iomega products. It installed perfectly and so far everything I've tried to do has worked fine. I am very pleased with how easy it is to use. No doubt it will be obvious to most people since it is in the title, but you do need to have the USB 2.0 connection (it does not work with the earlier USB version).
