4.0 out of 5 stars Nice CD burner, January 7, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Iomega ZipCD 650 MB CD-RW EIDE Internal Drive (Electronics)

This product is 100% improvement over my old unit,which was a HP 7200E.I use this item with Adaptec Easy CD Deluxe 4.0.I have found that the software bundled with an item is not always the best,so to achieve better results,consider upgrading the software.This item works well when copying audio CD's and also works well when making data CD's,although recording at a lower speed yields better results.(There is less margin for error with data than there is with audio.)My last unit(HP 7200E)was totally unreliable burning data CD's,while this unit has performed with greatly appreciated reliability.If you have ever spent considerable time and effort amassing data and program files,only to find that they are not there when you want them because your CD-R drive burns coasters,you know what I mean.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works Like a Dream, January 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Iomega ZipCD 650 MB CD-RW EIDE Internal Drive (Electronics)

I have an HP CD burner and I got this to do CDRW disks because I heard that they are reusable after you no longer need the data on them. To my surprise, I initially had a problem with the drive but after a phone call to Iomega and a couple simple setting changes, the drive has exceeded my expectations. My used CDRW's erase fine in minutes and allow me to reuse them. The packet writing feature with the application Direct CD that came with the drive allows flawless packet writing that I was never able to achieve with my HP 6020. I have both CD's on my network but hardly use my HP any more. Thanks for a good product.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very easy to install and use, January 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Iomega ZipCD 650 MB CD-RW EIDE Internal Drive (Electronics)

A very good basic CD-RW drive that was terribly easy to install. Included software allows easy file transfer to CD-R or CD-RW. Backup is a snap when using CD-RW as a drive. Good documentation included with unit and good online help from Iomega. Only complaint is that the Quicksync automatic backup runs too often, but you CAN continue working while it performs the backup, so it's not a real problem on any newer (PII or PIII) computer.
