Pros: It works with Mac.

The Bottom Line: Don't buy Iomega if you can help it.

| babka's Full Review: Iomega ZipCD CD-RW Burner |
Setup with this was about as easy as any external USB cdrw. The options for Mac users are limited. And Roxy Toast doesn't have the same feature set for Macs as for PCs. Always frustrating.
The software did it's thing fine. I didn't find the USB connection to be that reliable. I have a stack of useless discs because of interrupted burns due to lack of sufficient USB data flow. This occured when connected directly to my iMac, through a hub, and through my keyboard's usb connection.
But my main frustration is reliability of this product.
I had it for under a year before it simply quit working. I returned it and got another one, after complicated technical support.
The second one quit after another year. No warranty left, so it goes to the garbage heap. My IT department at work confirms that Iomega products are suspect. I don't plan on buying anything else from them.
