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

Thus far this drive has worked very well! I hope it continues to be good in long run!

My new HP laptop computer did not have a CD drive built-in like my older desktop computer. When I needed to install several programs I needed a CD drive as the programs are on discs. This CD drive did the trick to get these programs installed. I can play CDs and DVDs on my laptop computer now.

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.

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

This was a was a Christmas present for a friend. It works well with some DVDs, but not one thats particularly important to her ... a memorial video from her mothers funeral. The disc has *.IFO and *.BUP files. When one puts into a built-in DVD drive on an older laptop, it just starts running. When placed in this drive, nothing happens. My research leads me to believe that the Windows 10 on the new laptop that has no DVD of its own is either missing the file association for the program that runs the drive or is missing the routines used to *.IFO and *.BUP files altogether ... a software rather than hardware problem. Im sure well figure out whats wrong, but its a nuisance.

I really liked the design of this CD drive; worked without any issues when I connected it to my laptop.

I was able to open/run some old photos on a CD disc and save them down on to my lap top and external storage drive.

Received promptly. Easy plug and play operation. Quality materials. Connection cord is about 24 long.

Like the compact size. Uses, recording and playing information from and onto disc.

It is slim and small. Perfect to put anywhere, easy to use and install on a hp computer. A value for the money.
