Summary: not a bad burner for the big price u pay for it
Review: I bought my cd writer about 2 weeks after new years of 2001. When I first got it, the instructions were hard too understand and I had too play with it too get it too work. Afterward, it does good with recording music, but the down sides are, the price first of all.... the second is, u cannot make copies of data cd's, like picture cd's. I have one that is scratched, and I want too get it copied before the thing gets worse. but all in all, if u want a good cd writer that makes good music, than this is the one, but the music is about it. Whatever u do, do not buy any of these nashua cd's, i tried them in my burner, they came in a 50 pack, and i big too say that may 13 of them were good, the rest of them made the music sound like it was popping and cracking. so I give this 4 cd's, cause it is a good burner, but has it's downsides..

Summary: Iomega Zip CDRW - USB
Review: There are 3 simple steps to "burning CD's". [1] Buy the Iomega Zip650 USP Drive; [2] Install the Software; [3] Connect it to a USB port. For me, that is all it took to start creating CD's for my RoadWarrior {IBM ThinkPad}. The Adaptec Software is easy to use. The Iomega Drive is accurate and easily portable. Since I do a lot of my work "on the road", it makes it easy to transfer data back to my Desktop system when I return. I have found no problems with the different drives that I use; being able to read from or write to CD-RW media formatted on either machine. I can make extra copies and snail-mail them to collaborators without any problem of lost data, (for less than a BUCK including postage). If we are at the same conference, I can burn the data and hand it to them in less than 15 minutes (sometimes more than 300 HiRes Digital Photos and 20 MB of data from a single weekend conference). The speed of "burning" is better on this portable drive than on my multiple media desktop drive. (DVD-ROM/CD-ROM/CD-R/CD-RW internal IDE drive). I still use a Iomega ZIP (100Mb) USB drive but am finding fewer times that I need it.

Summary: Works well but doesn't lasts
Review: I was pretty happy with this unit. However, after around one year and two months it wouldn't start anymore. I expected more durability for [the moeny]. I don't think I'll waste my money with IOMEGA again.

Summary: Electronics fan from Mo. is right ...
Review: ... I've had mine for about a year and all I did was plug it in, connect to a USB port, install the software - Make Discs. I haven't even read the instructions, why should I, it works! It's been used for classical music and datafile backup and it works great for all of them. When it comes to some of the more rabid naysayers in reviews I always wonder if their problems could be traced back to User Error?
