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!

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.

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.

Great product !!
I just purchased this product one week ago. I love it. This
drive is very thin and elegant. When you insert a CD or DVD the
drive boot up very quickly. Anyone wants to buy a external USB DVD RW
drive I highly recommend you to purchase this drive. You will not be disappointed.
HP inform me that I would receive my product by June 29, but I receive the item
a week earlier. Thank you HP will quick shipping.

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.

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.

Very well made,Truly Plug & Play.
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.

Great Features and Simple to Use
With our older HP Computer, we decided to purchase an external DVDRW Drive. Now, with this very inexpensive but quality external drive, we can watch our movies, listen to the holiday music and not need to spend a great deal of money for a new PC.
We love our drive!

Good product
This product so far has been good and practical. The sad news is that I bought it because the internal DVDRW drive that came with my recently purchased HP all-in-one PC is not reliable. It is flimsy in its design and you run the risk of the CD falling inside and not coming out. But again, this external drive we are rating is good.

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.

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?
