Navneet pandey –
Works greatVery light weightBut vibrates like a jet engine when working
rinotom –
It says to be of USB 3.0 compatible. But, speed was not that great (Both initial CD detection and data read).Due to CD detection delay initially, I even thought for a while whether the product is defective.One advantage is that it is light weight. But, the parts looks so fragile and felt it should be handled with very much care.The USB cable was so tight in my laptop USB port and it looks like it can damage the port on multiple uses.One mistake I had done is that, I thought it could be used as a boot loader. That will be possible only if your motherboard supports USB booting. If only ATA/SATA booting, then look for replacing your internal CD drive itself. This will not serve the purpose for you.

#1 No software support from HP, even the product is not listed in HP’s website!#2 the cable provided in box is good quality, but if we use it in old PC or a system with usb hub of power 500mA, it will not work. A separate usb Y-cable will be required for that.

Really sleek and lightweight external drive. Has a decent read rate. Haven’t got an opportunity to test the write ability of the drive but from what I have heard that is pretty decent. The external housing is made of plastic, so this would need to be handled with care (dropping it would be catastrophic for sure). Otherwise a great product!

I bought this to watch content on my tv from my old CD/DVDs with family pics, videos, and some movies… all sorts of stuff. But I had a hard time finding instructions on how to do that, because if you just connect it to tv it won’t work.To connect this to TV :1. Connect it to tv via usb.2. Press the button to eject the tray.3. While it’s ejected, press the button again for about 2 secs before the light starts to glow.4. Put on a disk and slide the tray in.5. Wait for the tv to pic up the USB signal and to go into file browser mode.That’s it.For pc/laptop it’s truly plug and play, no drivers or extra step required.Build quality is decent. The top dents a bit in if you put pressure. There is no rattle in the internals, everything seems sturdy.The only drawback is the read speed, if you put anything having bitrate over 2MBPS it starts to stutter. So don’t put any high bitrate video stuff on TV.

Works fine and does what it says. I get some noise sometimes while burning a disc. But, it doesn’t seem to have any affect on burning disc. While this machine works fine, care should be taken not to tilt the drive while it is burning a disc. It will miss align the disc and lasts to burn failure.

Connected it to my HP Spectre x 360 laptop and it worked without any glitches. I transferred some songs from CDs to my laptop, not used it to write a CD or DVD. The connection is through USB 2.0 and hence bit slow (compared to in-built CD drives).Its lightweight (220 gms with usb cable) and looks nice. Kind of a ‘must-have’ gadget for present day laptops without cd/dvd drives.

I bought this CD drive carefully noting it’s compatibility with Mac OS as was written in the Product description. However, this CD drive is not compatible with Mac OS. The CD drive when connected made weird loud noises. I was afraid it might ruin the CD. The MacBook did not detect the drive despite multiple hours of trouble shooting. Returning this CD drive.P.S: The hard ware of the device is very flimsy and might break if not handled properly.

The DVD drive is light, cheap and easy to use. Only drawback is that it makes a little noise while burning CD and appears to be fragile. The body build quality can be improved which would in turn reduce the noise also.However, if you can handle the DVD writer carefully, then it is the best option.

It worked on win10. Did not ask me to install any drive etc. Plug and play. I am yet to try it on my Ubuntu machine.It is very light and has plasticky feel. It makes a lot of noise. Construction isn’t sturdy. I wish they provided a carrying case. It has HP logo and everything. So it must be genuine. I guess even HP does not care about making sturdy, durable items for Indian Market. The price is not exactly cheap. I went for it for the brand. It fell short for my expectations.

Since the PCs come without an ODD, this mode is by far one of the best choice even when you want things temporary but smart. Data-transfer is pretty fast, probably the 3.0 is true. When ‘offline’, place it inside the drawer, dust-free.

DVD connects to the tv through USB. You will need to press the eject button for 2secs after the disc input. (Just read the instructions pages). However, if you put any older DVD cd, you will only get video and audio is unsupported as the older DVD discs have multiple files – VOD (video)and IFO (audio) files. The DVD players wont recognize IFO files but if you have any files with integrated audio such as (.mp4 , .avi) it will play just fine. I have returned it as i couldn’t able to play my old DVD movies in it.

Nowadays laptops introducing in the markets having no DVD/CD drive, but still any Audio or Videos are launching in DVDs so in that situation we need an USB connected External DVD-RW Drive. For that purpose i have tried HP External USB DVD-RW Drive. Quality of the drive is good and it is user friendly too. No driver software required to be installed, it is like Plug and Use model. Money spend for this is really worth.Thank you very much

Easy to set up and good performance. Compared to my five year old i5 HP PC this is not much different in performance though is an i5 7th gen CPU and 8HB memory. The good thing is it has an optical drive which is absent in most of the other models in the same range. Overall a good buy.

Got this so I can play the 100s of CDs I still have and don’t want to spend money on an expensive (and rare) mini component system. The CDs play nicely on it through iTunes on my Mac. Just need to get a good pair of speakers. But when I press the eject button on this the CD doesn’t come out. I have to use the button on the iTunes Player and then it ejects. It has solved my CD issue and I’m happy about that.

It says to be of USB 3.0 compatible. But, speed was not that great (Both initial CD detection and data read).Due to CD detection delay initially, I even thought for a while whether the product is defective.One advantage is that it is light weight. But, the parts looks so fragile and felt it should be handled with very much care.The USB cable was so tight in my laptop USB port and it looks like it can damage the port on multiple uses.One mistake I had done is that, I thought it could be used as a boot loader. That will be possible only if your motherboard supports USB booting. If only ATA/SATA booting, then look for replacing your internal CD drive itself. This will not serve the purpose for you.

Govinda Padaki –
Tried installing the PowerDVD, PowerDirector, Power2Go and Media Suite softwares that come along with the DVD Drive.I am using a Dell Laptop (Windows 10). It displays an Error “This software can be installed only on a Hewlett Packard System”.This is weird. Since this is a USB Drive, it should not matter whether it is running on a HP or Dell or IBM Laptop.Would not recommend to others if the associated software is also required by customers.I have not tested the read/write speed. However it makes too much sound while reading.Overall, I am not very happy with the purchase.

pros: the product works flawlessly, even recognized a CD that is a decade old immediately. No issues about my Windows 10 system installing the required drivers.Cons: The cable length is quite short and hence my plan to connect the drive to a port on the back side of the cabinet & keep it on top of the table will not work

Since laptops are increasingly giving up on the DVD/ CD drive feature, if you are someone who still needs to use DVDs (in the year of our Lord 2020 – I know!) this is a life-saver. Instructions on how to use with a laptop that has a built-in CD drive are not immediately available – will need to Google that.
Parth Gadhiya –
This is a good cd driver that i have bought as is is made by hp it works perfectly but it has some downside and it is with the build quality,it look ls and feels like it is cheap but if u want ur work done and dont care about the look then this the best vd driver this amount of money can buy

The product looks premium with the brushed finish. Hoping it will be durable for prolonged usage over period of time . It’s pretty easy to use. Just plug and play just like any other usb devices. I would not say it’s light weight, but some weight is preferable so u actually get an in hand feel.

Brijesh –
Yes.. It’s working with TV. (in my VU brand TV..)Here’s short ‘How to’.. first of all.. eject the tray.. load CD/DVD.. before closing it press the eject button until the green led lit – approx. 2 second.. close the tray.. you need to wait until the DVD drive finish reading CD/DVD) It works just like a USB storage devices e.g. pen-drives. (file/folder list, plays any format if supported by your TV)Good product..(opened the box just now 🙂 )I’ve more than 7 DVD internal + external drives.. so I can say HP DVD drives are equal to all good drives in the market.. actually they are better than others.Software provided with it ( CyberLink Media Suite ) is useless. Not for systems/pc/laptop other than HP. (very disappointed about that.. They should exclude the software charges/price.)
