📀 Iomega 31119 Predator 4x4x6 External USB CD-RW Drive: Efficient Solution for External CD Writing Review

I'm the first to give this recorder 2 stars. Now we're at one. See my update at the end of this review. Sigh. it started well. Installation was quick and recording my first CD went smoothly. Then I bought TDK blanks in bulk and. Well, the Predator doesn't like them. About 10 media error reports burned. Stands. Switched to Sony and Memorex blanks and both recorded with no problems. Additionally, after some experimentation, it became fairly clear that USB would never support secure writes of any…

I bought a Predator a few weeks ago and have been dabbling in CD burners. I am very impressed with my choice. The IOMega Predator offers excellent value for money. I paid a lot more for it than I bought it 3 months ago. Revain is very reasonably priced and I think it's a very good discounted buy. It has a great design. I use it with my Gateway Solo 5300 laptop and I think it has a pretty decent speed when using it to burn audio CDs. So far I haven't had a single CD that didn't burn properly…

This new Iomega unit looks great right out of the box - it's top loading, so inserting and removing CDs is much easier. Also, I was initially impressed - it's about a third smaller than the last CD-RW I tried. In addition, the immediate benefits are that the software is quick and easy to install and the USB interface is easily accessible. And since it's so light I thought it would be a great addition to my new laptop. Unfortunately, this CD-RW suffers from the problem that it's not possible to…

After reading some rave reviews, I'm a little embarrassed to criticize; However, it proved of little use on my Toshiba 4100XDVD Predator laptop. I feel like the king of coasters making them like McDonald's burgers. I am using the latest drivers and also the Roxio (Adaptec) Platinum version 5.01 software to TRY and burn my CDs. But I still get about a 50% burn rate at best. CDs are cheap, but my time isn't. So if the burner bursts in half an hour, I'll restart the whole process and keep putting…

After reading all the negative reviews and problems reported by users, I was very wary of buying an external USB Iomega Preditor CD-RW drive, actually any USB CD -RW drive. But after doing a little research, I decided to give it a go. After all, if I wasn't satisfied, I always had Revain.com's very generous money back policy, right? So when my box arrived I went to work expecting the worst. And to my great surprise, the installation went according to the rules and I was up and running within 15

Yes, looks very nice and a bit compact. It was a big mistake buying this product which I ended up returning because my system couldn't recognize the drive. Even after uninstalling and reinstalling all programs. It still didn't work. I continued to purchase the HP equivalent of this product. It comes with a separate device driver disk which the Predator does not have. I then have the option of installing the burning software that came with the drive, or you can install your own. The Predator…

Those who want fast and error-free CD-RW playback should understand that USB-1 connections unfortunately don't allow for this. The original USB was a low-speed technology intended for simple devices like keyboards, mice, and printers. CD-RW buyers are better off buying FireWire, serial, or internal drives. If you need to buy a USB CD-RW drive and you have an old computer that predates USB 2.0, then this drive is a good choice - the software that comes with it is very good. , the drive itself is
