IOMEGA CDRW 650 . I recently bought and installed this drive. The installation directions were easy to follow and worked well on my non-standard pentium. Write speed is good and I could get the full 8X speed the unit is rated at. Some noise from the unit, but not bad. I have had real problems with burners in the past and this one does not seem to follow those patterns at all.

Great Product! . I just bought mine and it works great! The software is easy to install. I had to download the software updates from adaptec.com to get rid of a couple bugs, but that was painless as well. I was able to get the full 8x writing ability to make an audio cd without any errors.

Is it Windows that's causing the problems?? . I bought this CD-RW over a year ago, when I was still running Windows. It was pretty wacky then, doing all sorts of things to my discs and the OS! Dunno it that's the software or what...anyway last fall I switched my computer over to Linux and this burner has WORKED LIKE A CHARM! Linux users, note: Mandrake and SuSE both recognize this flawlessly. The program cdrecord will recognize it but won't let you use DAO ...however the app cdrdao works great with it (and it's frontend, gcdmaster)! I've burned over 200 discs with this burner I've bet and only a handful have been losers, and out of those I bet only 1 or 2 were due to things beyond my control. Cheap discs (don't get cheaper then PENGO I bet), pricey discs, all burn very well - some faster than others (the Blacks are the slowest at 2x, TDK or Fuji the fastest). I would buy Iomega products again.
Not too thrilled with this one! . 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.
A fine burner for moderate use . 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.
Great CDRW . I wish I had bought a CDRW sooner. No issues installing it on my Win 2K/Win98 dual boot machine or. I had more problems figuring out what was the Slave/Master setting on the pre-installed DVD.Software is that it assumes you already had a CD/DVD. The installation program comes on CD, but wasn't an issue for me.Software included is Adaptec's Easy CD Creator 4. (I wish it came with version 5 or a discount for the upgrade I want to make Video CDs). It also comes with Direct CD, which makes a CDR/W like a second hard drive with Delete and Rename capabilities.
Cons Review
Had some problems with it.. . 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.
Doesn't Last. . Good for about a year, then dies. Minimal support from Iomega, but Iomega's not known for support.
Buy it only if cheap! . 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.
