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

So far I have transfered over 100 CDs to an MP3 player without any problems. It has worked as promised. There were less expensive brands but since I was going to be using an HP computer also I chose the same brand.

This drive works like a champ

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.

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!!!!!

good quality product

Everything was ok. No problems with the product so far. It works as expected. Thanks

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.

Great to watch a movie or install program from a CD. Most new PSc do not have an optical drive. Get one now, brand name like HP they will be rare and hard to find soon.

It was easy to use .

This us exactly what I needed.
