USB CD-Writers

[BurntToast]

Hello,

Anyone use a USB CD-Writer and have good results? I need to get one for a machine at work. It's a Dell with no 5 1/4" drive bays (damn black case!).
I was looking at the Iomega CD-RW External USB.
Any info would be apprecitated.

Thanks,
Bill

They are maxed out at 4x... i'd stay away from iomega too.. I have used an HP with pretty good results

We have a Iomega here at work and we haven't had any problems with it yet.

It could be a little faster though!

I have an Iomega 4x4x6 Ext USB and an HP 4x4x6 Ext USB and both work great. I guess they could be considered slow, but for the stuff I burn, im in no hurry.

I have an Iomega USB 650 CD-RW.. 4x4x6x.. works fine. No problems at all.

I have a Mitsumi 4x2x8 I've had for 2 years and it rocked, but I upgraded to an internal because externals were no longer needed (no more multiple computers at home).

I bought it for about 280 back in the day, I don't know what they're going for now though.

Iomega's are ok. They are all built by other comapnies and re-badged under the Iomega labeling, so it matters which model your talking about.
