HP F2B56AA External DVD-Writer - USB DVD/RW Optical Drive USB-powered plug and play get immediate read/write access to your optical media

Plug and play, does the job. A little bit noisy when spinning up. However if you need an optical drive for older software installs or burning DVD's/CD's then it's ideal. Plug and play, does the job.

This is really slimline and small, I was surprised. However it seems well built and it works well, just plug it in and away you go, very handy to have nowadays as nothing comes with a DVD player and they are still useful to have. I am running mine on both a Mac and a Windows machine. This is really slimline and small, I was surprised.

I bought this for my daughter for her Birthday, as she has no disc drive on her laptop. She can now watch DVDs and save her files with ease. She loves it!

I was expecting to have to at least let it install drivers on my computer or have to go and find them online but no, plugged straight in and played cds and dvds alike. Haven't tried writing discs yet as I have no reason to. Arrived promptly and has been a good experience. The only thing is that it's a bit louder than the fans in my pc but I don't mind at all as its a familiar background noise that I haven't heard in a while.

This product very competitively priced and is easy to use. It plugs into a USB port which also supplies the power. So far it has worked first time every time both for watching DVDs and for converting DVDs to mp4. This product very competitively priced and is easy to use.

Small, light, portable. I have used it for 3 weeks now and am very pleased with the results. Very good value for money. Only criticism is that I would have preferred a longer connection cord.

I was having trouble converting an old DVD video to an MP4.
None of my DVD drives would read it.
This DVD drive plug-and-played easily and read the disk.
Nice reliable product at good price. I was having trouble converting an old DVD video to an MP4.

This external DVD writer does everything it "says on the tin." Used for a few weeks now.
It works seamlessly with Windows 10 and 11 with no need for drivers and supports Autorun.
It may be a little slow but it's a forgivable "fault" overall.

Works well. More than makes up for the lack of a dvd-writer on most modern computers. Works well. More than makes up for the lack of a dvd-writer on most modern computers.
