Summary: An Avid Cd Burner
Review: ... If you have USB 2.0 then this will be the best burner you will ever use. I burn 74 min. cd's in under 7 min. The burner looks great sitting on your desktop too. I had no problems with the product whatsoever. It isn't cheap, that would be its only drawback... 200 is a lot for a burner considering you can get other types for under 120 at discount computer stores. If you have a good laptop or desktop with USB 2.0 GET THIS BURNER!!!!!!!!!

Summary: I'm Glad I Bought It!
Review: And I'm glad that I didn't allow the negative reviews here to discourage me from buying it. I've burned several data disks (digital photography is a hobby), and I've also created some music disks.Has it been smooth from the beginning? No, because I didn't follow the instructions for installation. I contacted Iomega, and they sent me an e-mail with instructions for correcting the problems. They also included a link to their website so I could download the most current version of their software. After reading the instructions, I found that it was easy to use, and I'm very pleased with the results. Note that I'm not a techno-geek. If you don't have a brand new computer, your USB ports are probably USB 1.1. You'll have to buy a USB 2.0 card to get full use from this drive.

Summary: Great, Beats All Others I've Tried
Review: As far as External Burners go, this is the best one I've seen. I previously had a Philips burner with so many problems that it took 5 years off of my life. I also bought a Plextor drive that wouldn't even work. However, this burner is so free from problems and fast that I have nothing bad to say about it. Do make sure that your computer is equipped with USB 2.0 though, or else you won't be able to get the 16X speed. For laptop users, I recommend a PCMCIA USB 2.0 Card. The software enclosed with the burner will do the basic stuff, however it doesn't have any bells and whistles with it. I would recommend using the ultra-popular Easy CD Creator or the registered version of MusicMatch Jukebox, with its great Volume Leveller feature. However, this burner will certainly keep you happy and sane, unlike many others.

Summary: Just right
Review: Everything was fine for me with this device. I followed the instructions and got first CD burned in 20 minutes after unpacking! Then I installed Nero and burned some music, VCD and SVCD, no problems were found so far. I like this portable device which I can bring to friends and get some huge video files from them.

Summary: Does not play well with XP Pr
Review: First off, let me say this device worked perfectly on Windows 2000 Pro. Installation was a BREEZE and I was cooking at 16x write speeds. However, after installing XP Pro, the drive no longer worked with my USB 2.0 card, and worked only very sluggishly on my USB 1.1 port. Iomega's chat support, while friendly, is of little help with the techs very slow to respond and recommending the same fixes every time. Email support is slow and mind-numbingly ineffecient, and don't try to call phone support unless you plan on spending 30-45 mins in queue (on their non-800# line). All this to say, if you have XP, Iomega isn't ready for it yet. Perhaps in a while after they released more patches/upgrade they will be - but as of now, I'm returning this unit.

Summary: The driver cannot work with my HP photosmart printer
Review: I am not sure if the problem is in the driver of my HP's photosmart printer or the driver of the Iomega RW drive.
My printer is working fine before I install the CD drive software. After I install CD RW driver, my PC canNOT come out of window 2000. I cannot even uninstall my printer's driver unless I uninstall the CD drive software first.
I have called both HP and Iomega support, but they just ask me try all kind of things. At the end nothing will not and they believe it is my PC's USB controller problem (Yes, right!)
I have to return the CD RW drive.
If you have a HP printer, you may run into the same problem.

Summary: A reliable CD burner
Review: I do not use this drive with a USB 2.0 port; I've just plugged it into the "old fashioned" USB in the back of my computer. It's the second CD burner I've gotten in the recent past, the first (by Archos) worked only sporadically, and driver problems which the manufacturer could not resolve jammed up my computer's operating system (Windows 98 SE). The Iomega burner, by contrast, connected without a problem to my computer and has worked reliably since. I use it to burn audio CDs, store images, and back up the computer. It performs admirably and (despite the fact that I'm not using the super-fast USB 2.0 connection) quickly in all of these areas. I give it four stars because of the Iomega Hot Burn software which comes in the package -- although I haven't tried to use this software, I read a few reviews of it and concluded that it's too limited to be useful. Instead, I installed Roxio's Easy CD Creator which works fine (the version I installed, Easy CD Crator Platinum 5.0, did not immediately recognize the hardware, but an upgrade from the Roxio website quickly solved that problem).

Summary: Iomega just don't get it.
Review: I had Iomega zip drives and Jaz drives before and never really liked them, but I needed a good priced CD burner and this was available. I bought a bundle of blank CD-R's when I bought the unit and then found that there was a list of compatible CD-R's and this Iomega unit wouldn't write to the ones I bought. I have used many CD burners and never discovered this before. 2 days after I got it home the little door fell off and I had to take it back to get it replaced. The Iomega software that is bundled with it is the worst piece of software I, as a programmer, have ever come across. Overall I just don't understand why Iomega don't just sell up and quit making low quality products with hard to use, non-intuitive software. I eventually took this unit back for a refund and bought one from Dell. It was more expensive but I can burn to whatever brand of CD-R I like and the software is user-friendly.

Summary: Iomega external16x10x40 usb
Review: I had to take this machine back to the store because it was to difficult to operate. The hotburn software was difficult to navigate. Trying to make a music cd with individual song were impossible. My computer kept locking up when trying use device and hardware. lastly, this thing kept losing my data; when I tried to retreive my data it wasn't there. Bottom Line too many problems. I am now trying out QPS Que Fire 24x10x40 cd-rw external. Good Luck people
