Works great on HP Windows 10 Laptop

HP External Ultra Slim DVD works great! Runs on laptop or laptop. No need for extra power adapter.2. Works great on HP laptops with Windows 10. No driver installation required.3. Very slim profile and very portable. Cons: Short USB cable built into DVD drive. Not much "kon". The stock 3 inch cable works fine. However, if a longer cable is needed, it can be easily attached with a USB extension cable. VERDICT: The best portable DVD drive for laptop or laptop.

Pros
  • Looking forward to it
Cons
  • No

Solid performance so far

It has been a few months since I bought this HP external DVD/CD player. First, I couldn't play a particular DVD I wanted to watch. After using VLC as the playback engine on my PC, everything worked fine. All my products are HP, I like them, they are easier to service and maintain, and all under one brand. I'm using Microsoft Windows 10 and after more than 5 months I'm still undecided. Hopefully this external HP DVD/CD player will hold up. At the moment I recommend it to everyone. Hey, I just…

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Ok but buy USB extension cable

This product was easy and quick to install. The included software is great but feels overkill (you have to install about 4 programs, each serving a different but sometimes useful purpose). A major downside is that USB is about 3 inches long. What the heck do you do with a 3 inch USB? So you need to buy an extension cord for it, but the information pack says it can't be extended more than 1ft (otherwise you'll reduce the data rate), but you can only buy extension cords over 3ft. So my question…

It does not work! Best external components

I bought this product because my HP Pavilion Touchsmart laptop does not have an internal DVD/CD drive. I read all the comments about how easy it was to install and was very happy with my purchase. The product was delivered very quickly! I plugged in the drive and nothing showed up. Nothing to install. I put in the Cyberlink Media Suite CD and downloaded all the software, thinking it might work. That didn't happen. Then I went to my app store and downloaded VOL I think it said. Someone said it…

Pros
  • Good workmanship
Cons
  • Minor things

READ THIS BEFORE RETURNING THIS DISC.

This is less of a rating and more of advice. If you ordered this DVD drive, connected it to your laptop and it was recognized but not the inserted DVD but did play the CD, please wait before returning it. Go to Control Panel and select "My Computer". If it shows your DVD drive and DVD name, that means it is compatible with your computer and WORKS. That's the problem. If you have a laptop without an internal DVD drive, 9 times out of 10 it is not configured to play DVD media. Just music CDs and…

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • without insurance

HP DVD 600S Unboxing Review (Video) Ultra Slim

I love this product. Very smooth, very thin. Works as advertised. Built-in power supply in USB cable. The only negative (You've already heard dozens of times from other reviewers that this is a 4" cable. So you'll have to buy an extension cable (just extra cost and an extra device). I did a video review of this device. Try it it from here: [.] I would recommend it, but be aware that you will need a USB extender

Pros
  • High test scores for support and durability
Cons
  • Fair

God people weren't kidding about the cable

So I decided to buy this for my HP Envy 360 as it doesn't have a CD drive. Great price and everything. Perfect fit for my laptop. In many reviews I have seen people complain about two things. 1) the inability to play DVD movies on it and 2) the length of the cable. Instead of fixing issue 1, I immediately downloaded VLC player, installed it and voila, I can watch DVD movies without any problems. (Apparently the included software doesn't allow you to do this without purchasing additional…
