Summary: Mac users beware
Review: I totally agree with the previous reviewer... If you are a Mac user steer clear of this drive. The software provided with the drive (HotBurn) is a dog and only compatible with OS 9.1 or less. Iomega is offering and alternative, but it's an additional $30 and still the drive will not be compatible with some Mac features such as itunes. Before buying a CD-RW for a Mac take the time to check http://www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/storage.html to find a compitible drive. I didn't and now I've got a $150 paperweight.

Summary: Don't bother if you use a Mac
Review: My wife got me one of these for my birthday, and all I was able to burn with this was coasters. It's probably not the drive itself, as my iMac was able to recognize it. The HotBurn software bundled with it is only supported up to MacOS 9.1, and I use 9.2.2, which came out about 2 years ago!

Summary: The best for your money
Review: This is an excellent investment, since it's not that expensive and it really allows for fast downloading and CD writing. It's especially best with laptops. I have used it with my PC computer and laptop and it has worked great. I don't know about the MAC specifics,but I know a lot of stuff doesn't ever work with MAC because they are completely unique. Iomega is a great brand, and this product comes with a great guarantee. (Mac users should just return it.) I have made literally as many as 50 CDs a day, and you can probably make a CD in less than 5 minutes with this machine. I love it and recommend it.
