The drive isn't that bad tbh, for 650Mb CDs it does really well. MakeCD
reports 10x een though the drive is supposed to be a 8x. Writes whole CDs
in 10+3 minutes, which is pretty close a to 16X!!

It's just that you have to wait ages for 700Mb CDs.
I did phone Iomega's support line and they told me that the drive does 'not'
write to 700Mb CDs. Well they do (eventually).

I must admit that if given the choice again I probably wouldn't get one. It
does tend to hang the machine everytime it reads a new CDDA track (i.e.
while playing Payback) and that it 'very' annoying. But just for writing
650Mb CDs great.

Regards



Nick
