Hewlett Packard CD-Writer 9100i CD-RW Burner

Pros: Easy and fast install, hassel-free
Cons: None yet

I finally decided to bite the bullet, give in to technolust, and buy a CDRW. On the splitsecond opinion of a friend, I bought this little ditty from an online seller who was doing free overnight.

Not only was the installation very painless...

Pros: quick, convenient, results
Cons: expensive

I received this CD-ROM drive as a gift, as I had wanted a burner for quite a while. My dad found this one while he was searching for one he found to be best. This one was it. He was very confident I would enjoy this as a gift and he was indeed...

Pros: Well made, reliable
Cons: Packaged software is mediocre

You can't beat this product for excellent value and reliability. It writes at 8X, which, when compared to some newer drives, is a little slower, but hey, I can copy or make an entire 80 minute CD in less than 10 minutes. I really don't think I need a...

Pros: Easy install, ease of use
Cons: suppor

This is just another great product from HP. I compared all of the specs and then did a spec to value comparison and picked this one. The internal is the only way to go if you have the space. Much faster transfer rates than external.

The...

Pros: easy storage, easy to install and use
Cons: errors; speed

I bought this product around May '99 after having done much research and thinking...The idea of being able to make one's own cds is tempting enough to spend $200 on. So I finally did it. I bought it and spent about 3 or 4 hours installing it because I...

Pros: Fast, inexpensive, easy to use and install
Cons: 8x speed may be outdated soon

The HP 9100i series CD-RW drive is both affordable and good performance-wise. The internal drive, which I recently bought is fairly simple to install, using the manual, and no professional installation is even required. The price of the 8x4x32 internal...

Pros: Wonderful hardware. Easy installation
Cons: Software package

I absolutely adore my HP CD-writer. I had been keeping my eye on CD-writers for months. They were a sixteen year olds dream. I could make my own CD mixes of my very favorite music, or store all of my MP3's on a single CD. Of course these were only...

Pros: Speed, Reliability, Software (Adaptec)
Cons: Size, Price

I purchased this drive from onsale.com (now egghead.com) a few weeks ago. One piece of advice - make sure you disable any anti-virus software you have loaded on your computer before you begin installation! This includes Norton and McAfee and the like. I...

Pros: 8 speed write.
Cons: nothing

I bought this to replace a non working Philips Magnavox drive, what a incredible purchase. Burning CD's at 8x is utterly fast. I make music CD's in under 20 minutes (74 min CDs) its incredible. I bought it from http://www.outpost.com and received it...

Pros: excellent software, reliable, fast
Cons: a little more expensive than an average CD-RW drive

The HP 9100i is slightly more expensive than some comparable CD-RW drives on the market, but it makes up for the additional dollars by being one of the simplest to use. The software package that comes with this drive is second to none and truly makes...

Pros: fast, easy
Cons: none

I purchased this item because of the many things you can do with it. I think the people who would benefit the most were people who were looking to sell dance mix CD's or wanted to make their own CD's off of their computer. I chose this product because i...

Pros: Great little all around Cd Writer
Cons: Instructions of setting up hard to follow

I bought this product a while ago... I have almost had it two years now. Now it is sort of outdated now with the speed being 8x4x32x but needless to say it is perfectly satisfying and makes great CD's on a budget. Setting it up was the only challenge...

Pros: GOOD AND RELIABLE DRIVE
Cons: NEED TO UPDATE SOFTWARE

I BOUGHT MY 9100i BACK IN THE WINTER OF 99 FROM A MICROCENTER AND THEN I BOUGHT IT FOR AROUND 300 DOLLARS. NOW I AM SURE THEY ARE MUCH CHEAPER AND YOU CAN GET SOMETHING FASTER FOR THE SAME PRICE BUT THEN I WAS A GOOD CHOICE.

INSTALLATION...

Pros: Easy to install, LEDs work, it does burn CD-ROMs sometimes
Cons: quits working after 18 months (or even two), is a HP, Adaptac CD Creator software

The HP is easy enough to install. It reads CD-ROMs without any problems. Then suddenly after a few months it quits working...

I haven't yet found out why it doesn't work. Well it looks like even HP doesn't know, seeing all the nice entries at...

Pros: Good speed, good quality, good price
Cons: none

This is definitely a great CD Burner. It's priced as an entry level burner, but it's fast enough and has enough features for just about anyone. I've had this burner for about 6 months now, and I've never had a bad CD come out. The software packaged...
