DVD writers and computers have become synonymous. Since all of us are working in paperless environment these days, storing content on the computers and using it often has turned out to be a necessity.I have been working online for the past three years and have a large amount of data including documents, photos, and media files stored in my computer. However, I was always in anxiety that these data may get deleted or the computer may crash at anytime.The best thing that was suggested to me was to opt for a DVD writer using which I can store all the data in a CD or DVD. Browsed through a lot of the other writers, picked up Iomega DVD Writer. I could store all work-related assignments and my private files on DVD/VCD format. The Nero 8 Essentials Software is a welcome add-on! Maybe few more months down the lane, if I continue to find it this good, I may recommend this as a top choice!
