Bought it for the odd time I need to run a CD or DVD in my netbook. It comes with the necessary lead to supplement its power need from a second USB port if necessary. I've since seen a slightly smaller drive but nothing to make me wish I'd bought it instead. I've always found iomega products workmanlike and reliable - and this one is no exception.
So far, so good.

Good burner, but one item to watch out for
18 July 2009
I just bought this and it seems to work just fine. Nothing fancy.
It requires 2 free USB ports (look at the picture on Amazon). On my MacBook Pro the USB ports are on opposite sites of the computer, and the cable JUST reaches if I stretch the cable across the top of my keyboard (doesn't obstruct any keys). Kind of annoying, but I only use the burner occasionally.

Cute product, some limitations
6 Jun 2009
I bought the Iomega superslim DVD writer as an accessory for a Windows XP version of the Acer Netbook. I used the Iomega DVD drive to load software...without a hitch. I had hoped to use the Iomega product as a backup device for various laptops, and I was disappointed. The bundled software, Nero 8 OEM is a huge software package (468 MB) with more license limitations on media types than I can list here. If you own an older version of Nero, you will find that it works quite well with the Iomega product. Using the Iomega DVD writer as a backup device on my two Dell laptops requires an external power supply, not included with the Iomega product. Reading disks works quite well off of USB power. Writing data files consistently fails with messages about USB power surges from Windows. With some significant limitations, this product gets a 3 out of 5 from me...but it should probably be a 2.

Iomega CD/DVD Burner
2 Mar 2009
I have had Iomega products before and was quite satisfied, although their Tech Support help is limited.
I was surprised that, in this case the CD/DVD burner was "DOA". I called Iomega's Tech Support and they were prompt, courteous and did trouble shooting over the phone. They agreed with the "dead-on-arrival" status and arranged for a replacement drive to be sent directly to me.
All that sad, I was disappointed with the "flimsy nature" of the drive's outer shell. I understand keeping things small and light but do not belive the outer shell should be as thin a material as it is. While, with care, the drive will be okay, it is not going to be easy to carry the thing around in my computer bag without getting crushed somewhere along the way.
Drive works fine and Tech Support was good but lack of structural strength is what drove the "2" rating.
