HP External Portable Slim Design CD/DVD RW Write/Read Drive, USB, Black (F2B56AA)

Got it to work by using Device Manager. Not sure why I had to update driver when there was already a driver there for for the HP drive, but it seemed to work. Havent had to use it yet, but I can see in in File Explorer.

i bought an off brand unit that said plug and play. no matter what i did, it would not work. bought the hp unit and it literally took me longer to get it out of the box than it did to hook it up and have it performing beautifully. yeah, id buy their stuff again.

Looks like the best burner I will get now. Reputable brand. No problems.

Well, now Im trying to return this item since it is not what is shown at Amazon, the seller will contact someone sometime to see if I can return this fiasco, it works though, I have to try it at least, but theres no software to see the properties of this device or if it really can burn CDs, using WMP I tried to save the song of a music CD and it shuts it down every time I pressed Rip CD it probably doesnt have the capability of burning CDs as advertised, maybe the Item in the Amazon site do but no what I received, very disappointed.

Works with PC and Mac, no problems so far

This us exactly what I needed.

Ordered 8-31--delivered by UPS 9-8 excellent condition. Finally something that works, came with a detachable usb cord, about 18 inches long, no product instructions, but did have warranty papers. I plugged the usb cord into my old HP computer 15 years old, that does have a DVD player, that after all these yrs is not what it use to be, any way this HP writer worked right out of the box transferring my PrintMaster images to paper perfectly, next step I had an old home movie I had put on a DVD, it copied, this to a new DVD disk perfectly, looks like it is going to be a good buy for my purposes.

Oh my goodness I could not be more Aggravated!!! Ive spent the past hour on the phone with HP being transferred to one automate person to another. I was assured by the HP sales team that this item would allow me to upload (or rip) music from my cds to my computer, and would also allow me to burn cds. I have an HP 360 envy and windows media player says error for every single track it tries to rip. I have poured over countless community support articles, and like I said an hour being transferred all over the place to automated hp people. The product support for this item just gives you a general hp number. It DOES NOT let you rip music....the whole reason for the purchase. So frustrated! I want to return it and then go to Best Buy, purchase their recommendation and have the sales person make it work....

TESTED ON 6 COMPUTERS! Even computers that are not HP brand. Works flawlessly! No software, no drivers, no BS...just plug and play and done!!!!!

I had to order this when another cheaper product I bought did not work correctly. This one worked perfectly.
