HP USB CD-RW External Optical Drive 8x

This HP USB CD-RW external optical drive reads and writes compact discs at up to 8x speed. It connects through a standard USB port and supports Windows 10 and macOS without extra drivers. The slim enclosure suits mobile users who still need to install software, back up files or play audio CDs on devices lacking an internal drive.

Included USB cable and plug-and-play support

The bundled USB cable provides both data and power so no separate adapter is required. Plug-and-play operation means the drive appears automatically in the operating system, letting you start burning or reading discs immediately. Buyers who need DVD writing or Blu-ray playback will find this model does not support those formats.

Highlights

Questions about this item

Will the laser lens need cleaning or replacement after extended burning sessions?

The drive uses a standard CD-RW laser mechanism; occasional lens cleaning with a dry disc is the only routine maintenance, and no user-replaceable parts are specified.

At 8× write speed, what limits continuous burning before the drive throttles?

Sustained 8× recording is limited by the USB 2.0 bandwidth and the drive's internal buffer, which fills faster than the host can stream data during long sessions.
