Rated 1 out of 5 by from Had enough, sending it back It will not work with the Desktop which I brought at the same time. However I have been able to remotely open the drawer. Really exciting!! I have managed to get it working with my old laptop. No idea if it is a problem with this unit or the Desktop. I have spoken to several "techs" at HP who don't seem to know how to fix the problem. I will be sending the unit back Monday afternoon

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Could have been a lot easier So this didn't connect straight to my laptop as it was supposed to. I contacted support which was an absolute pain. I was sent in 5 different directions and told I would have to hang up and call again as I had been transferred to the wrong section. I ended up using a different app to access the drive which was fine but is a round-a-bout way of doing it. I have given 3 stars as I did get it to work, however lost stars due to the support desk being completely unhelpful.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from DVD Read Write Reliable and portable DVD; I like these features when I go on holiday it allows me to watch DVDs from my own collection and not having to rely on resort equipment which often does not work or are not provided,

Rated 2 out of 5 by from If This is Progress... I bought this external drive because HP could no longer offer a notebook PC with one onboard. I have plugged it into my new HP notebook. It doesn't seem to know it is there. My old HP notebook has since been repaired and the new gear has been filed in the bottom of the broom cupboard.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to use external DVD drive. My order arrived super quick, and although there weren’t really any instructions it was easy to use. I did have to find an app to allow me to use the drive, but this only took a few minutes . I was able to find a free app which seems to be working perfectly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Happiness Personified It's bought me inspiration to go through the CDs I've stored data and photos on and relieve those memories. Would like to have been able to get it in gold to match my HP Laptop but, never mind, it does what it's suppose to and does it well.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from They keep asking me for a review and so here it is HP keep sending me emails requesting a review, so here it is. I bought an external PC DVD drive, it arrived, it was in a box and all the contents were as expected. I haven’t had a chance to try it yet, however I have received multiple emails requesting this review. If only one of the emails had been an email asking if I had received the product, were the contents intact and was I happy with the product.

Questions and Answers

Why is there limited region changed? this will render it useless if I have to change more than 5 times. Why isn't multi region an option? After all they are designed to be portable and travel.
