Is IOMEGA a good brand DVD+RW drive maker?

Title says it all.

Can I say the same for Panasonic?

iomega is just a brand name, I very much doubt they make their own drives.

 

Buy the real thing.

 

Panasonic would be Matshita wouldn't it? They're normally just supplied with laptops - and you shouldn't ever buy/use a slimline drive if you have a choice in the matter.

I've sworn off of IOMega products. I used to use them quite often, but, only 1 product of all the ones I bought was ever worth the quality of the purchase: the Peerless. Jaz, Jaz 2, Zip, they all would die on me, killing discs. The last USB HD I had from them died on me. System wouldn't boot with it connected. But, on to the reason you wrote. I tried one of their DVD burners. After removing it from the enclosure, I determined it was an LG drive. I ended up replacing it because, randomly, it would burn good quality discs like Verbatims that would play back with skips in the audio and video on the Playstation 2.
