Media issues are common throughout the optical drive industry. Because media vendors often change disc suppliers, quality levels may change due to manufacturing differences. This means that you may encounter CD or DVD creation problems with media that may have worked successfully before. Overall system configuration and other factors may also affect the success of creating a CD or DVD.
Iomega® highly recommends that you use the media types on this list when creating your CDs and DVDs.
Not all brands of media have been tested and, therefore, you may encounter success with other brands not listed. Because faster drives are released frequently, media listed as compatible with all speeds may not work with these faster drives. This list will be updated as other media is tested. This list is frequently updated and media vendors may be added or removed, so please check back often.
Important: For a list of recommended media for Iomega CD-RW and ZipCD 650 drives, please go to http://www.iomega.com/support/documents/10706.html
