 HP=Hate Product January 13, 2009

I had tried several HP products and they were poorly manufactured with tones of problems. This one is also a bad one. Its customer service is certainly NO service at all. HP needs to fix its problems to stay in business. Avoid HP for now.

I was so excited when I brought this home. All for a game I so badly wanted to play and this looked and sounded good. Wish I knew what the future was going to bring. I used this to play games for a few months then left it sit for a couple more. Cleaned it up and tried to play again. Nothing. It whirs like it's going to work, then grinds to a halt. I never even was able to burn the slide shows I spent forever working on. I'll also never know how the lightscribe works either. Junk. It was an expensive piece of junk. Now it sits as a reminder of what not to spend on something I know nothing about. The pros? It was easy to install and didn't take up much space on my desk. Not all that bad to look at either. wasn't very noisy either. But that's it.

I would not advise anyone to purchase this item. It was poorly made for it does not do what it was intended to do. It is unreliable, mostly does not work. It is worthless as it does not burn anything.
Poorly Designed Power Connector December 13, 2007

I bought this product, installed the software, and burned a couple of DVDs with no problems. The next time I tried to use it, however, I saw the same problem noted in other reviews for this product. Namely, my computer no longer saw the drive. What was happening, at least in my case, is that the power connector to the drive itself was not snug and the drive ended up losing power. If I fiddled with the connector long enough power would be restored, and my computer would recognize it again. Unfortunately, I had to keep my finger on the connector to maintain power to the drive, so using it to actually create DVDs was pointless. I do not believe the connector was damaged since I only had the product in my possession for four days, and was very careful with it during that time. I ended up returning the product and purchasing a competitor's model. In summary, an otherwise nice product is nearly worthless due to a very poor design for the power connector.

I choose this burner because the advertising claimed it was problem-free and compatible with my HP computer, but I have had nothing but trouble with it. It vibrates and hums like a cement mixer, and more than half of the time my computer does not recognize it - a common problem for this model.
