  • HP 9340i: fast and relatively inexpensive

    Nov 13 '00
    Pros: fast, inexpensive
    Cons: may be a problem getting Win 2000 drivers

    Summary: The model I bought was an HP 9340i which went for $259 + tax. This particular model was one of the fastest writers out there: 10x write, 4x rewrite, 32x read. I use it mostly to make backup copies of software or music albums. I can ... read more

  • Good hardware, bad software

    Jun 08 '01
    Pros: Fast and reliable, works out of the box.
    Cons: Almost worthless software included

    Summary: I have purchased my new HP CD-Writer 9350i after almost a year of very positive experience with my older 2x HP CD Writer. I wanted to switch to a new CD-Writer since I didn't want to wait 45 minutes per CD... So, I phone-ordered a new HP ... read more

  • 9350i: Great little box

    May 11 '01
    Pros: Easy to install, excellent after-sales back-up
    Cons: Bundled software tools are unreliable

    Summary: Having been a fan of HP gear, I decided to equip my new Dell Dimension 8100 with a CD writer, and I had no hesitation in opting for a Hewlett-Packard box. The 9350 is a 32x10x8 unit, and in true HP tradition, the level of help you get in ... read more

  • HP quality, what you expect in a burner

    Apr 13 '01
    Pros: Very fast, efficient
    Cons: Some CD-R brands have trouble

    Summary: It was only on realising that I needed a new computer that the idea of a CD burner came into mind. I realised the 6 odd GB of data on my old computer would have to be transferred to my new one. So, I researched the storage options. * ... read more

  • Joe's CD-RW...

    Apr 06 '01
    Pros: $100, Fast, Reliable, Fast - Oh Yea, its fast too.
    Cons: No 700mb capability

    Summary: I work and buy expensive computers at my workplace but when it comes to home I look for the best bang for my buck. I bought a refurbished E-Machine Monster 500a, installed a Sound Blaster Live sound card, traded my old computer for a 20' Hitachi Monitor ... read more

    Summary: i take a lot of photographs that i scan and store electronically, wanted to back them up and also wanted to share them with others, I did some research and decided on the 9350i a 10x4x32x CD Writer plus. Actually purchased it from the HPShopping web ... read more

  • Burn baby burn...

    Mar 03 '01
    Pros: Good Price, Solid, Performs Well
    Cons: None at the moment

    Summary: I picked up my HP 9300i at my local Circuit City. It's very strange I continue to go back to Circuit City to buy components (It's 4 blocks away) yet I hate buying from them. I will explain in another review. Until recently I never knew about ... read more

  • Excellent drive (9350i) with a few software quirks

    Feb 11 '01
    Pros: Fast, 4MB buffer, Easy Installation
    Cons: Software included crashed my computer

    Summary: I bought this burner last week and I made about 30 cd's already! It's easy to install, easy to use and it's fast. I only have a Pentium 233 w/mmx and 96mb ram and i can still burn at 10x cd to cd 'on the fly'. Burning from my hard drive is still fast ... read more

  • Great burner - Download the Upgrade!!

    Jan 19 '01
    Pros: ease of install, burn rate,
    Cons: SOFTWARE INSTALLED!!! BOOOO HP!!

    Summary: This is the second CD-RW that this computer has seen and I have to say that this is better than the last. There are a few really great options that the new one has that the last didn’t. First it is an HP. I have never had a problem with a HP product ... read more

  • Music to go. And performance too.

    Jan 09 '01
    Pros: 10X/4X/32X, easy to use software
    Cons: takes a while to search your disk for songs

    Summary: I finally talked my brother into buying a CD-RW drive this year. He decided on the HP 9350i. I also talked him into letting me install in into my computer. Anyway... I've been using it mainly to make my music CDs. It'll burn a CD in around 7 minutes ... read more

  • Burn CDs Without Burning Yourself!

    Jan 07 '01
    Pros: Quality, Speed, Ease of Use
    Cons: none

    Summary: HP CD-Burners have been my choice in burners for a long time. Sometimes they will cost a little more than their generic counterpart, but I think its worth it. In the computer industry, you get what you pay for (most of the time), and CD-Burners ... read more

  • Don't be fooled by the nice box...

    Jan 02 '01
    Pros: Nice box and good job on translating in the manual. Oh and nice menus, too.
    Cons: Absolutely NO specification of what it does and doesn't support.

    Summary: Well, like most of Digital America, we need space and storage for our precious files and programs, whether it be important documents, games, .MP3's, etc. Well, I needed somewhere to put my stuff so I bought the 10x4x32 9350i CD Writer from HP, which was ... read more

  • This thing can eat my shorts (9600 series)

    Dec 15 '00
    Pros: Looks nice, burns very quickly and reliably
    Cons: Included software/interface, price

    Summary: I always thought HP made good stuff, but after seeing this new drive, I would never buy one. We got this for use at work, and it is a major pain in the rear to use. We got the HP Cd-Writer 9600 series SCSI CD-RW drive, external. Even though ... read more

  • Says the Salesman.

    Dec 09 '00
    Pros: easy everything
    Cons: nothing to gripe about

    Summary: Nothing but good, comes from Hewlett-Packard again. This internal CD-RW is greased lightning. I sell this item at work and we have had nothing but success with it. The 10x Write, 4x Re-Write, 32x ROM speed is second to none. The typical IDE interface ... read more

  • Fast but lacking

    Dec 02 '00
    Pros: Very fast
    Cons: Can't backup games

    Summary: Introduction One day I was surfing around the web, and I decided that I wanted to get myself a CD-RW drive. I surfed to PC Magazine's site, and I looked at their "Top-10 CD-RW Drive" Chart it placed the HP 9300i drive way up ... read more

  • My mixed review..

    Dec 01 '00
    Pros: Reliable, good software, easy to use
    Cons: dosn't record at full speed!

    Summary: We got this writer 2 weeks ago. After easy installation it wouldn't make a c.d. at all. Being my stubborn self I wasted 3 cdr's until I called and asked for help. Unfortunately there was no 800 # so we will have a small charge on our phone bill this ... read more
