Iomega 31475 CD-RW / USB

Don't Waste Your Money and Time

Even when it was brand new I had about a 75% success rate with this burner. After wasting many hours and blank CDs, that rate, 10 months later, is 0%. You'll easily make up the savings of this inexpensive burner if you spend a few dollars more and get...

Unreliable

I recieved this drive as a gift Christmas 2001. Right off, burning CD's turned out to be a huge hassle as I had to "coaster" about half of the 50 or so CD's I attempted to burn in the first month. As it was pretty much the burner I was stuck with, I...

DO NOT BUY

I was able to use my Iomega RW drive for a few months after I bought it. Then, one day, it would not recognize the drive. I have uninstalled and reinstalled many, many times and it still will not work. I have not been able to get any help from Iomega...

what's all the fuss about?

Now, I'm sure I'll get a rash of unhelpful votes for this, but sometimes I wonder if when people complain about problematic, inconsistent hardware and software, the actual problem is human error.Then again, I really don't understand how anybody could...

Works well but doesn't lasts

I was pretty happy with this unit. However, after around one year and two months it wouldn't start anymore. I expected more durability for [the moeny]. I don't think I'll waste my money with IOMEGA again.

The pits.

This is the touchiest computer-related item that I've ever used. It absolutely refuses to accept any CD-R discs except some real cheapies which I bought at Office Depot. Therefore, I can't burn anything onto decent media, which is more likely to last...

Works well for me

I've had this Iomega CDRW for about a year now. It installed easily. I use it both for storage and for system backup and it has performed without issue. It continues to work well for me!

Bargain Drive for the newbie

The Iomega drive that I have works very well with Windows 2000 . \nI must point out some known problems with the Adaptec Software version 4.0 used in this. It is known to have some issues with Windows XP. Overall the CD drive is fast enough. It burns a...

Electronics fan from Mo. is right ...

... I've had mine for about a year and all I did was plug it in, connect to a USB port, install the software - Make Discs. I haven't even read the instructions, why should I, it works! It's been used for classical music and datafile backup and it...
