Summary: A fine burner for moderate use
Review: I've used a lot of different CD burners and several different CD-burner software packages. I use this Iomega CD-RW drive in my home computer and it works fine. There are a few cheap brands of CDs that it does not burn reliably, and occaisionally the CD burn software flakes out and requires rebooting, but frankly most mid-range CD burners I use have these same problems. I wouldn't buy it for a business that required frequent burning, but it is fine for my home use. I've used it under Win2000 for a while now.

Summary: Worst Burner Ever
Review: If you would like to purchase a horrible Cd burner, then buy the Iomega 8x4x32. Ive had mine for a year and it has done nothing but die and then come back to life. This shouldnt even be allowed on the market. Anyone looking for a product to get the job done is looking in the wrong place. I haven't burned that many cds because of how worthless this thing is.

Summary: Buy it only if cheap!
Review: It will write at 8x speed only on select brand CDR like TDK. Otherwise, EZCD software will show remaining time as 10min, but it will use 2 to 3 seconds to tick one time. I even get crazy when I have a lot of CD to burn since it takes 40 minutes to burn a STI CDR which was bought from circuitcity. 2M buffer is just half of the size than other 8x burner. Don't buy it unless it is free (after rebate) so you can use it as CDROM for your 2nd PC.

Summary: Had some problems with it..
Review: Some problems I had with this drive..excessive time reading a cd..sometimes it takes a minute or two for the drive to read a cd. When erasing a CDRW cd, it says erased successfully, however the files are still on the CD. And the most recent problem, when shutting down windows (xp or 2000), my computer doesn't shut down automatically due to the drive. if i disconnect the drive, then it shuts down fine. sometimes i can't even eject a coaster cd. i have to shut down pc, then start it up again to eject it.

Summary: Not too thrilled with this one!
Review: This burner is rated for 8x writes, and anybody who's up on CD-RW drives knows that means it should be able to burn a full CD in about 8-9 minutes. However, this drive typically takes 15-20 minutes to burn A CD. Tried the support section of the Iomega website, but could not find an answer to this problem until I read the other reviews here at Amazon that mention certain brand media is required to write at the full 8x.Well if Memorex CD-R's isn't good enough for Iomega, then this drive shouldn't be good enough for you. My Yamaha 8x performs great no matter what brand media you use, so I would recommend you take a look at one of those instead. I think I'm really reaching here to give this drive three stars, but it does work........more like a 4x with most media. I'd probably be more annoyed if it was slated to reside in my primary computer.

Summary: I've successfully burned 10 CD's in a year
Review: This drive is worthless. It works less than 10% of the time. I could not even sell mine used in good conscience. I've called Iomega, and they blamed the problem on everything BUT their product. I've tried all grades of disks...all brands of disks...all the "tricks" Iomega suggested. I have given up on this product! Do yourself a favor...AVOID IOMEGA. Pay more if you have to...just avoid this drive!

Summary: Warning: This will harm you and your computer
Review: Worthless, miserable piece of crap. This machine just jammed up my computer and has NEVER worked properly. Utterly worthless and the technical service from Iomega is abysmal. Only buy this machine if you are looking for an expensive paperweight and you love spending your life on hold calling technical support lines populated by morons
