In
conclusion this new Iomega drive is a great buy for those of you who need
to burn CDs on the road. As it comes with all needed software it's a complete
solution. Its burning speed is correct and its reliability will help you
to concentrate on your work and not on the burning. However the drive
is a little bit expensive compared to conventional burners that are faster
and it's provided with an old release of Adaptec Easy CD Creator. Burn,
baby, burn says the add of Iomega, so if you need to burn CD on the road
this Iomega external CD recorder is probably the perfect product for that
kind of need.
