Summary: Really loud
Review: In addition to the other problems noted here, it is very, very loud -- a combination of a noisy motor and a lot of vibration as well (so it both hums and buzzes). The QUE QPS drive is much quieter, but also about twice as thick.

Summary: Avoid this piece of junk like the plague...
Review: Incredibly mediocre, this drive is as bad as the ZipDrive was good. Why do I hate this drive- let's see... It's very unreliable, producing more coasters than readable disks. The lack of Burnproof technology means a lot of buffer underrun errors, even when burning at a very slow 2X. It frequently crashes my iMac, requiring, reboots, reloading of Toast and plugging/unplugging of the drive. Tech support is terrible- they knew less about this than I did! I'm going shopping for a new drive soon, having wasted money and way too much time trying to get this to work.t

Summary: Awful - get an internal IDE drive
Review: Similar to other reviewers, I got about a half dozen cd-rom's out of it before it started pitching fits and trashing cd platters. Some things just shouldn't be hung off of a USB port, and a cd-rw drive leads that list. I returned mine and got a name-brand hardware vendor's internal IDE drive and installed that. No problems whatsoever. Iomega makes a lot of fine products, but the Predator isn't one of them. Forget it.

Summary: Very unreliable
Review: This CD writer worked fine with my PoweBookG4 for about 10 to 15 discs. But then it began to make very strange and loud noises, crashed my computer several times, and finally "died" . I wasted about 25 discs in the process... Iomega sent me a repaired unit, but it is almost the same: strange noises, and about one good disc out of five. I didn't know about this burn proof technology other persons had commented here, but now YOU do.I really think that Iomega should consider to give our money back or at least give us another model. I think they made a very bad decision selling this CD writer. Mac users like me trusted this brand. Not anymore.
