HP USB External DVDRW Drive | Compact | 8x DVD and 24x CD Double-Layer Recording Capability | Windows and macOS Compatible | Black

If I could have gone down half a star to four and a half I would have. At first the drive did not show up on my laptop, but as soon as I inserted a CD it did. After looking around for CD ripping programs I settled on one and have ripped well over 30 so far (out of 3,000+!!!!). Some CD special editions even have extra discs that are video/DVD and I have managed to rip these too. I cannot comment on its burning capabilies as I haven't used this facility, and doubt I ever will frankly. So far it is performing well. I occassionally get error messages about importing certain tracks, but that's probably down to the discs rather than this unit, and as far as I can tell, the tracks ripped anyway. My only gripe? In the days when I had a desktop computers with CD/DVD drives in the tower they were fairly sturdy. Laptop CD drives years ago were always flimsy so I expected this to be a bit sturdier, but when the tray is ejected, it does feel very flimsy and I wonder how long it will last with all the ripping I have to do in the future, hence the half point deduction I would like to have given. Overall though, (so far) a very competent piece of kit.

Plugged straight in and worked. I've been using it a lot and playback is rock solid. It is quiet as well. You hear it spin up, but other than that, very quiet.

The third time I have ordered an external dvd drive and the only one to work with my Lenovo Ideapad. No instructions but straightforward once connected, I use it with Windows Media player. Good delivery, well packaged, arrived on time. Satisfied.

Bought to go with my new laptop which doesnt have a disk drive. Simple to set up and use and great compatibility and value for money. Very happy with the quality of it and its a good size.

Wanted this to play and get copies of my old dvds stored onto my PC because dvds do not last forever and this has been great in doing just that. Probably not best around younger children as it's a little flimsy. Wire is quite short as well so bear that in mind and look before you buy. Been great so far though for me though

Works very well, straight out of the box. It replaced a cheaper one that I had had for a while that decided it no longer wanted to function. How long this one will last , only time will tell.

Good quality at a good price

I only bought this to upload files from cd's etc. as my HP laptop does not have a cd dvd drive. It worked ok for that but the build quality of this product is quite flimsy - you have to handle it very carefully so you don't break it. I am disappointed in the build quality as I expected better from HP. Also, the cable that came with it is very short, so I recommend buying a longer cable for it. I bought this one which is available in three different lengths: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00P0GI68M?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

Très bon graveur pas de faille même avec des dvd de 1ère génération que j'ai retrouvé dans mon grenier

Un pò costoso rispetto ad altri però è HP e ho preferito la garanzia di un marchio di qualità. Funziona bene con i Mac che ho in casa ma, attenzione, se avete dispositivi Apple avete bisogno di un adattatore per collegare il cavo e il lettore esterno. Per il resto funziona in maniera semplice e immediata, intuitivo. Ho provato subito con un CD audio, perfetto e ho testato la funziona di masterizzazione, anch'essa veloce e perfetta. Estetica gradevole, nero, satinato. Ha 4 "gommini" sulla base che rendono stabile l'apparecchio quando viene posto su un piano lavoro. Costosetto ma funzionale e bello da vedere, consigliato.

Läuft gut und leise

Good product can use with pc and laptop as well. Good design. Build quality is also good. Performance is satisfactory as USB drive.

Unidad dvd externa silenciosa y perfecta para grabar cd o cualquier otra cosa que incluya discos.Windows 11 la reconoce sin problema tan solo conectandola.
