Great external drive

Not sure why they sell laptops without a DVD drive these days, but bought a new one and no drive. I purchased this because sometimes I just want to watch an old movie I have on DVD. This drive works well and was easy to use, plug and play. Of course, need to download some software to play a movie, which is easy to find and many free ones, so no problem there. Good price and good value for the money. Read more

Best budget DVD drive on Amazon!

Very great DVD drive. Had it for 2 or 3 years so far with no issues. Very compact and easy to hide under a desk. Best budget DVD drive on the market, also burns discs great. No loud noises or anything. Read more

Good Alternative to a cheaper third party brand

Starting out with 4 stars as I thoroughly test the unit. It is replacing a third party brand that while worked for some time, recently failed to burn, though it would play back. Extensive testing proved that; a repair on a low priced device was not worth the effort, so an HP brand was bought to compliment an HP 840 G8 laptop. So far it has burned just fine, and plays both audio CD and video DVD correctly. Do not expect compatibility with Blu-Ray format, this is not a Blu-ray player nor burner. I will up to 5 stars if everything continues to function as it should. All in all, you should be better off with this than a lower priced knockoff that may not stand the test of time. Upping to five stars. It is doing so it should. Read more

Good product.

Came quickly, works as described, plug and play with my Macbook. It's a little noisy but not anything unusual. Seems reasonably well built and if it lasts I'll be happy. Read more

Device stopped working

For a while, I was able to use this device to convert my CDs to MP3 files. Then one day I unplugged the device to move my laptop to another room. When I plugged the device back into the laptop, the laptop was unable to recognize the device. I consulted with two computer techs who guided me through a variety of fixes, but none worked. I then turned to the HP Support community, and an HP employee asked me to try the same fixes that the computer techs did. Nothing worked. The HP Support employee's conclusion was "The GP70N's hardware is faulty." Unfortunately, I had purchased the device 6 months ago, so it's out of HP's 90-day warranty. I therefore bought a different device (at half the price), and so far it is working perfectly. Read more
