Advantages: USB Connected, Portable

Disadvantages: Software

Having bought a digital camera, I wanted to be able to store my pics on a transportable format and not clog up my fairly small hard disk.

Looking around in PC World I decided on the IOMEGA. It looks smart and was pretty easy to install.

In use so far it has proved pretty reliable - I haven't burned a CD yet that can't be read on another PC - but the software that comes with it has its little foibles.

The most annoying is that, if you do not label a CD when formatting it then you get an error message to the effect that the CD is unusable. Once you have had this message once then the only way out of the loop that it gets itself into is to reboot the system. VERY FRUSTRATING.

Knowing the little foible, it is very easy to get around and after that it has seemed to operate very well.
