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

Works great so far, Was able to burn several dvds with my pictures.

More than I wanted to pay for but it was worth it.

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

Wanted to watch Kung Fu TV series. Which I had a DVD set of. Plugged this into my Maingear Laptop and it played the disks with no problem. Plug and play with Windows 10. Glad this worked as online sites wanted $35 a season for digital versions.

Plugged it in to my laptop and burned 2 dvds without even having to look at the instruction. Very happy with the quality and performance. I absolutely recommend this CD/DVD drive.

It size and quality.

I bought this HP drive to use with a new HP laptop. Unfortunately, it did not want to work easily with it so I returned it. Unbelievably, I accidently left our new Turbo Tax CD in the drive when I returned it!!! I was sure I would never see it again. However, I contacted the seller Co-Brands. They took the time to find it AND ship it back to me FedEx! I cannot say enough good things about them! In a world where customer service almost seems extinct, these guys rock it!

I am accustomed to having a device listed in File Explorer by simply plugging it in the a USB port (i.e. jump drive). This is not the case with this HP DVDRW unit. You need to have a CD/DVD disk inserted when plugged in and it will then wake up. Personally, I like to know that a plug in is recognized and set to go whenever plugged in. Hence, a little change on my part...I just need to have a disk loaded and then look at File Explorer to insure it is connected and ready to read and or write. By the way, another separate issue is to pick a app that will allow you to use your DVDRW unit. Windows 10 does not come with an app. Would be great if HP could simply have a free app listed and wed access versus going third party route. Im using Any Player which is alright but makes it really feel like its a third party provider. I believe Windows has the Media Player app at $14.99.

It was easy to use .

Works great. Seamless installation. Excellent transfer speed. Bought to install older software on a new PC that did not come with an optical drive--great accessory to have available, and even occasionally play DVDs.
