Iomega ZipCD CD-RW Burner

Pros: Easy installation, low learning curve
Cons: None that I can see

I just bought a factory refurbished model of the Iomega ZipCD 650 from FutureShop and I must say I'm really impressed.

I was looking at Iomega's Zip drives but noticed that I could get this factory refurb for the same price as its 250MB USB...

Pros: Speed, Easy to use software included, Easy to install in computer
Cons: not a DVD

I had been talking for a long time about buying a CD burner for my previous computer. When we decided that it was time to buy a new computer, the one that fell into our price range didn't have a CD Burner in it. I managed to wait all of a month before ...

Pros: Price vs. Speed
Cons: none

This is the best, cheapest solution for CD-RW. Iomega is famous for making great products that last a long time. This drive is the same exact drive that HP sells for $100 more.

I had no problems with compatibility and no problems with...

Pros: Fast, easy to use, affordable.
Cons: Bundled software isn't user configurable enough.

The external Iomega Zip CD was not the first external USB CDRW I purchased. I wish it had been. I first purchased a Sony Spressa on an Internet bid site. I own many Sony products and have a high regard for the company and their products. But I was...

Pros: High Quality-Reasonably Priced
Cons: None that I know of

The Iomega Zip CD is one of the best CD-RW I've seen to date. I recently bought an External USB Iomega ZipCD and I have got nothing but good things to say. Well, that’s not the only entirely true I have noticed but haven't tested that only 650 MB...

Pros: Nice case design, quick and easy setup, quality software package. Cheap drive for Mac users.
Cons: Not the fastest CDRW you can buy, but it's the fastest USB drive available

I wanted an external USB CD burner primarily because I didn't want to pay alot of money, and having a DVD-RAM drive in my G4 PowerMac already, it didn't leave me any room to add an internal drive. I went out and got the Iomega drive because the price was...

Pros: Space Savings, Easy Installation, Very Quick
Cons: Direct CD application included isn't usable and about $100 more than an internal model

I received the Iomega ZipCD 650, an external USB CD burner and am very pleased with the product. The ease of installation, bundled software, writing speed, and size of the unit make it a strong recommendation.

Installing the ZipCD 650 was a...

Pros: Easy to use, Affordable
Cons: Space age look invites kids to play with it

I originally borrowed my friend's external USB ZipCD to help me to back up files on my computer.

I have had very little experience with CD Burners in the past and I was amazed at how easy the external version was to hook up and use. Within 10...

Pros: 12x burn speed, 12x extraction rate
Cons: haven't seen one yet

A few months ago I purchased an HP Pavilion, and the CD-RW it came with had no real faults, but the 4x speed was too slow for me. I make CDs often, and I felt the need for speed.
I saw the Iomega ZIPCD drive in a CompUSA ad, it ended up being $200...

Pros: fast, easy installation, software
Cons: bundled with adaptec, no firmware upgrades

As a longtime owner of an HP 7200 parallel port external drive (6x2x2), it was time to upgrade. "ht tp://www.epinions.com/content_ 17564929668" I wanted something fast, and that would keep my system stable as ...

Pros: Mac/Windows cross platform, lightweight, easy setup, runs quiet, speedy for most purposes
Cons: Pricey compared to other drives available

After perusing the various CD-RW units available for the Mac, I opted to go with a familiar name - not that the others were unfamiliar to me. It would have been easy to go with a cheaper model but since I've never had a problem with any Iomega products...

Pros: USB Connection, Portable, Reliable
Cons: Slow compared to internal speeds

My new PC came with limited expansion for additional drives. It could fit one more internal HD and a 3.5" drive (ZIP drive?). But after having a CD-RW in my other PC, I wanted one for my new system. I quickly found my choices rather limiting.

...

Pros: Works for a MAC and a PC
Cons: Only 4x write

This Purple Burner is great. Just what I needed to store files, back up C: drive, burn Audio CD's and use as external Hard Drive. I use a MAC at work and use a PC at home and this CD burner will work on both. Iomega includes EZ CD Creater for PC and...

Pros: works fine
Cons: if you have a superfast PC, the inability to run multiple tasks may be upsetting

First and foremost, I don't want to break my drive via a jinx, by praising it too much. With that said, now I would like to praise my drive. It has worked great from the start. The only problems that I have had with it have come from poor CDR discs....

Pros: Excellent product that does what it's supposed to do without any coaxing.
Cons: Not much that I have noticed.

Zip CD 650 is a CDRW (USB) from Iomega. It is one of those machines that makes its presence felt by being so trouble free that you don’t even notice that it is around. That’s what made the Zip drive so popular. Zip CD is true to Iomega’s tradition. I...
