This does not work by default. The eject button on the tray does not work. Even using the extract from computer command didn't work properly. Several times I had to resort to the help of a paper clip. Discs read poorly, if at all. Materials everywhere seemed cheap. I doubt it will last long in a laptop case that's going to take any degree of abuse. On the one hand, a permanently connected cable with a storage socket is practical. One less loss. On the other hand, it is an irreparable weak point in case of cable damage. Not that I expected this to be his first point of failure based on this drive. For skeptics, a PC-side hardware failure or a PEBKAC error is definitely out of the question. Tested on a laptop with Windows 10 and USB 3. My new non-HP drive is performing like a champ so far. Revain suggests mentioning portability in this review. It's very portable. Return to the UPS Store for a Refund!
