Huge Time Waster and Coaster Maker2006-02-05
This piece of junk has been a problem ever since I purchased it. I have been able to burn a total of 4 cd's with it and when I complain to Iomega I get no response. I upgraded to Win XP at home and find that the software does not work with XP, and that it will cost me $50 to get new software that will make it work. I finally sppend the $50 and it still does not work and Iomega still refuses to respond. The only thing I get is on their junk email list. In my opinion Iomega Sucks, and I will never purchase another Iomega product
Highly Unreliable2005-01-31
As with other reviewers, I have experienced numerous problems with this drive. At least 1/3 of all attempts result in ruined disks. I cannot use any other program while burning (and must kill all background processes). I can only use blanks made by certain manufacturers (expensive 'name-brand' only) and frequently the disks cannot be read by friends' CD players.
As reported by others, Iomega support were of no help whatsovever.
I hink the Iomega Predator 4x4x6 Sucks2004-03-04
Last year I bought from dabs.com the said ext CDRW, initially I've had no probs & thought it great.Once one learns to burn music at the slowest speed.
Now though I'm going through backup of backups of CDR discs as well the drive's conflicting with the PC ie causing it to freeze.
Iomega support are no help, to them their drives are perfect, it's the PC's fault.
I think not.
The moral is DON'T BUY IOMEGA....
Stay away from Iomega2003-11-08
Firstly, a pain to install. I thought maybe my fault and let go. Then some CDs burn fine, some CDs end up in trash. On calling their support, they said to shut down everything else(luckily I was allowed to breathe) while the burning is happening. That did not help and I had to buy certain CDs from certain manufacturers. But no, that does not help buffer overrun issues. Still I could backup the lovely photos of my first baby sometimes. And then one fine day the damn thing stopped working. Support said buy another device. And here I am shopping again.
Iomega 31119 Predator External USB CD-RW Drive2003-04-30
Very compact and fast CD Drive. The only setback that I have noticed is at times the computer needs to be re-started in order to retrieve the CD from the drive. It doesn't happen often. I would highly recommend this for anyone who wants a reasonably priced, compact, easy to use, fast CD Drive performer!
