Summary: Backup software and tech support are poor 2007-12-19
Comment: I bought this unit for backup and chose Iomega because the Zip drive backup software was excellent. This unit seemed to be erratic and had special problems backing up email with attachements; somehow it recognized the existence of an attachment but could not find it. The result was that it constantly asking what to do, abort or cancel? It appears that not all of my work has been backed up, perhaps because of my response; it had to be "abort", for "cancel" merely postponed the same question.
The real problem was with tech support when I turned the computer off after the DVD drive was unable to stop itself from constantly saving the same file. Upon rebooting the computer would not start. I tried on line searching in FAQs using the precise wording I first saw in the error window, but no such information was available. The tech support site promises the option to talk to a human being for $25, which is not unreasonable. But there is no telephone anywhere on the web site; instead, it asks for a credit card number. After filling out three pages of forms and clicking on "submit" nothing happened. I do not mind paying for technical support, but I do expect to be able to make contact.
I doubt I will purchase another Iomega product.

Summary: It Works 2006-03-29
Comment: The burner works with my current XP and pervious 2000 machines without any problem for more than 2 years. I use HotBurn to backup my data (mostly digital photos) and DVDXCopy XPress for my movies. It works!!!

Summary: Maybe a class-action lawsuit would get Iomega's attention 2005-03-08
Comment: This product is horrible. In the 20 years I have been tinkering with computers I have never come across such a worthless product (except for that Commodore 64 5 1/4 floppy drive that NEVER worked either). Out of the box, it failed to burn a single disk and locked-up three different systems, including my brand new laptop. The problem, random I/O errors, and system freezes. After 45 minutes on the tech support line (on my dime) I was finally given an RMA number and told to ship the unit back. A remanufactured unit showed up about two weeks later and the good news is that it can now produce one successful burn out of 3 or 4 tries (I guess if your media is cheap enough and you have a lot of time to waste, this would be acceptable). All of my successful burns are with third-party software. I have yet to get a single success with Hotburn Pro. I have tried Fugifilm, TDK, and TY media, all the same result. I have tried Nero, DVD decrypter, CDburner Pro, and Hotburn Pro. I have gone into msconfig and loaded minimal components, checked my drivers, etc. and have basically spent hours trying to get this thing to work consistently. Random I/O errors and freezes still plague the use of this unit. Hotburn Pro is another dismal story, too long to get into here. Read some of the comments above.

Summary: a problem instead of a solution 2004-07-27
Comment: After wasting 15 DVD's, I still did not succeed to end a writing session without a blue screen and a reboot. For each attempt I tried to do something like installing a patch, downloading the latest version of HotBurnPro, uninstalling Roxio, defragmenting my HD, performing a scandisk ... No success yet. Is DVD writing not mature? or was Iomega a bad choice? Next time I borrow from a friend before I buy.

Summary: worst product I've ever purchased 2004-05-22
Comment: Where to begin? It gave my Dell the Blue Screen of Death, locked up my computer, evaporated my active desktop. After trying to work with Iomega for 4 months, they sent me a replacement. No more Blue Screen, but no DVDs, either, just a huge pile of coasters. When the bundled MyDVD burning software tries to burn, it spits out the DVD and I get a "device error" error message. And yes, we downloaded the firmware update. Warning! Before you purchase, go go www.iomega.com and read the user forum for this product. The near unanimous verdict: completely nonfunctional product. I trusted Iomega, but don't make that mistake yourself.
