Rated 5 out of 5 by from It didn’t work in my computer. Plugged it in, but DVD wouldn’t play. I work full time so it’s makes it difficult to call HP for technical help. I will try to call them this week to see if they can’t help me get the DVD player to work. Very frustrating!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quick and Quiet Purchased to add DVD drive to new PC that did not come equipped with one. Works great, please upgrade future products to Blu Ray. A non Blu Ray player/Recorder is kind of obsolete in todays market.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It Seems to Work I have not used the drive very much yet. However, it seems to work a lot better than my laptop's internal DVD RW Drive (mostly because my HP laptop's internal hp DVDRAM GU90N DVD RW Drive seems to have quit working). Setting the external drive up was a little tricky because the drive didn't appear in my "This PC" at first. If I recall correctly, wiggling the (included) USB cable (on both ends) resolved the issue. I have used the external drive to listen to an audio CD, as well as play (and later install) a game that doesn't require using the CD-ROM disc (once it's installed on a computer) on my laptop. Although the external drive has done what I have wanted it to do so far, part of me wishes I had bought a replacement internal hp DVDRAM GU90N DVD RW Drive instead. The external drive requires a USB port and (at least for me) desk space. It's also a different color than my laptop, and does not have a security cable slot.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Rarely plays music CDs Part of the reason I bought this accessory was to rip my large library of music CDs. This unit fails to read more than half of them, though they are playable on other "consumer" devices like an old boom box and my car's audio system.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It works I purchased this after I had already ordered my HP Laptop before I realized it did not include a dvdrw drive. I thought that almost all computers came with a drive...much to my surprise, I was wrong. Too late now’ hence the external unit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Poor Wireless Connectivity The unit's wireless connectivity is very poor, particularly the mouse that loses its connections to the USB receiver invariably and requires a reset (tuning the unit off and on or removing and reinserting the batteries. Keyboard also uses its connection at times but the mouse is a real problem. For a combination of keyboard and mouse at this high price point, it is a very disappointing products . I had the product replaced once under warranty but the problem persist.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from There are differences. Buy HP From everything I had read, all external drives are essentially the same and all are plug and play. So I bought a $25 cheap unit. It was not plug and play. Apparently its best year was the same year Windows 7 was brand new. I returned it to Amazon and bought my HP. Brand new stock manufactured 2 months ago. It works great, while the other unit did not work at all with Windows 10. What more can I say?

Worked within seconds of plugging in to my POWERED USB hub connected to my Windows 10 Pro 64-bit HP Laptop and having no problems reading and writing to my CD/DVD's. Playing movies, Installing software, Reading and Writing numerous photos, creating system backup disk. This CD/DVD drive is doing it all for me. A sturdily made product. Much better than the less expensive, No-name brands (at least to me) I ended up returning. Well worth the extra cost of other brands, knowing that I have a quality product and should I need support, HP will be there to help.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Mistakes When I ordered my laptop I wanted it with an internal DVD just like the previous HP product I use. While talking with the rep I asked whether the unit was equipped with a DVD and he said, "no, but you can order an external one." So, I included one with my order. I received the external DVD in the mail 4 days before the new laptop (that was another fiasco in it's self had to submit two orders to get it right). When the laptop arrives two days after the email I received stating I need to sign for it, wasting my time sitting around waiting for something that never came, it already had an internal DVD. I have never had this much trouble ordering from HP but will be very thought about doing it again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works Great! I just bought a new HP zbook and for some reason it did not include a CD drive, and was advised by HP instead of having one added to my computer, it is just better and cost effective to buy an external driver. I just bought a new Honda CRV and needed to Rip my Cds to the computer and then transfer to a USB port to listen to them to my truck. This driver did everything I hoped it would. For $75 great purchase. I am NOT tech savvy, and even I could do this with a little help from utube tutorials. So happy with purchase, quality of transfer of the CDs was awesome. Thanks to the HP tech that advised me to purchase this driver.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not the greatest... Like someone else said in a review, it does what it should. I don't know if it is just my program or the player but the video quality isn't tops and the sound isn't always super good. But it works for what I ask.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Light and Easy The package arrived and I was pleasantly surprised with the product. If you are a business traveler, this is a must (it is feather light). The only downside was the packaging - only one pillow to cushion the drive in a big box. The delivery company made a meal out of the shipping box - ripped, dented, and filthy. Luckily, the unit is packed well and came through it with no difficulties.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from If you can't say something nice... I'm sure it works fine. If it had came to me with ANY type of operating instructions, is be able to rate better! After an issue I had with HP and my experience with their printers, the last thing I wanted was an HP product in my home! But I digress. It would have been nice to hold a piece of paper explaining the available things it can do. The last thing a consumer should do is have to take time away from set-up, and immediately jump on the web and spend time googling a user manual! I've had this since end of January and only plugged it into my laptop once to make sure it powered up. It's very flat and difficult to insert or eject a disc. It's nice and modern looking. That's all I can truthfully say in regards to the player. HP has been a HUGE let down to me and my family dealing with them. As a double transplant recipient and cancer survivor, this is the last bit of stress I needed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent and easy to use I purchased an HP DVDRW Drive. I have windows 11 OS, and my Z-Book would not recognize the drive. Kept opening Microsoft store but I was not sure which App to download. One of HP community helped me. The VLC media player orange from Microsoft (free) works great with my drive. Do not download any other third-party Apps.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Old dog learning new tricks Wow you really know how to pack your product. Arrived is excellent condition. I don't have much experience with computers so did not know or realize that they don't have any place to insert a disc like my old one computer these days. I have a lot of disc, so this was something I had to have. AND it works. Smooth operation when you press the tiny button to open it and doesn't make a lot of noise when running, just enough to know that is actually doing something. It looks like a regular CD case very slim and does not take up much room on my desk. Also, a shout out to the excellent help from you associate who helped me with this purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very Frustrated! I unfortunately have had nothing but problems since receiving my new laptop from HP. I cannot transfer data. I cannot load programs. I have been forced to use my old HP laptop which is now 11 years old and realize I am completely pushing my luck that it is going to crash soon. I have contacted Microsoft and was not able to resolve the issues to get data and programs transferred and loaded. I have also gone to a professional laptop support company who was also unable to get data and programs transferred and loaded. Please advise how I can resolve this incredibly frustrating situation!
