Pros: fast, inexpensive Cons: may be a problem getting Win 2000 drivers
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...
Pros: Unbelievably fast! Cons: lacks support for many features like CD-TEXT and 700MB discs
While my 4x CD-RW drive is no slouch, I was ready to retire it and jump into the fast lane. After reading a few glowing reviews I decided on the HP CD-Writer Plus 9310i. Capable of writing at 10x, re-writing at 4x, and reading at 32x, the 9310i promised...
Pros: 10x write, 8x rewrite, 32x read, Audio CD's made within 8 minutes Cons: none i can think of
Have you ever bought a CD for just one song? Don't you hate throwing away $12-$17 just for a CD with one song and all the others are not that great? Well if you have ever been in this situation, you will absolutely love the HP CD-Writer Plus 9310i...
Pros: Easy to install. Fast & easy to use. It’s a HP. Cons: none
Are you one of those people who has trouble throwing things away? I’m talking about image files, wave files, or themes that you spent hours downloading on your little 56k modem (or smaller modem). Since I’ve upgraded to DSL, I don’t have that big of a...
Pros: Fast, reliable, HP brand name, easy to install and great bundled software Cons: Difficult to get a hold of customer service
Like most people reviewing this product, I needed file storage that was reliable, convenient and inexpensive. Zip drives were definitely reliable, but the disks were terribly expensive and held much less.
Pros: Fast, 4MB Buffer, looks cool, many uses Cons: (Adaptec) Software isn't that great
I was finally sucked into the craze of CD burners. I thought of all the benefits and different uses of them and I all of a sudden just wanted to get one so bad. So after hours of research on all the different models and brands, I was set on the HP brand....
Oh ye 10x baby! This CDRW totally blows the other CDRWs away. At 10x write, 4x re-write, and 32x multi-read it is THE fastest CDRW (non scsi) as of July 21, 2000. It has 4 mgs of buffer and it look stylish.
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...
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...
I am one of the chosen ones now. I am one of the ones who can take the 800+ MP3s happily sitting in my hard drive(they're all public domain, I swear! Or they're songs from my band. We remake a lot of great songs. We sound almost exactly like the...
Pros: $100, Fast, Reliable, Fast - Oh Yea, its fast too. Cons: No 700mb capability
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...
Pros: Readily available in retail chains Cons: Poor support NT and Win2K Server Editions
I bought this drive retail (CompUSA) because I was impatient and didn't want to wait for mail order. Variants (9350i, etc) are basically the same. My goal was to put it on my Win2K Advanced Server (Win2K A.S.) box. The drive claims to support Win2K....
Pros: fast burning speed, easy installation, good software Cons: none
I purchased my CD-Writer 9300i for my new small business (eliteminds.com). The 10X4X32 capabilities of this drive are phenomenal! I use a Memorex 4X2X24 at home, and even though I love it, this one rips the lid off of it! This drive even has artistic...
Pros: Ease of use, very user friendly, good tech support Cons: Possibly too fast for today's PCs?
It was about time for me to replace my old HP7200 CD-RW (2X2X6) drive with somehting new. So, I bit the bullet and shelled out $300 for this new and faster CD-RW from our buddies at Hewlett-Packard.
This thing is FAST!
I, too, had to have this model after reading a review in PC World. I didn't consider any other model for long, especially considering it was a 4-day weekend and Costco had them in stock for $30 under list price. I knew I could save another $30 or so if I...
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...
Pros: Very fast, efficient Cons: Some CD-R brands have trouble
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.
Pros: Inexpensive, Fast, More Reliable Cons: Issues w/ cd's over 78 minutes
Hewlett-Packard has probably the most visible line of products in computer stores today. In places like Best Buy, Future Shop, Office Depot, etc., it's very easy to find one of HP's scanners, printers and CD-R/RW Drives. That's not necessarily a good...
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.
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...
Pros: Easy to install, excellent after-sales back-up Cons: Bundled software tools are unreliable
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...
Pros: Looks nice, burns very quickly and reliably Cons: Included software/interface, price
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.
Pros: 10X/4X/32X, easy to use software Cons: takes a while to search your disk for songs
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...
Pros: Good Price, Solid, Performs Well Cons: None at the moment
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.
Pros: Fast and reliable, works out of the box. Cons: Almost worthless software included
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...
Pros: Decent product... speedy Cons: You are on your own
I am an 3d animator and FX guy up in Vancouver Canada. It has come to the point that we needed to have a cd writer to backup hard copies of our projects and scenes. Well, for the last 2 weeks, now, I have had NO luck with their tech support. I have had...
Pros: easy to install, easy to use, fast and cheap Cons: none
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...
Pros: Fast, 4MB buffer, Easy Installation Cons: Software included crashed my computer
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...
After reading all the great reviews, I decided this drive was worth the extra money. And it sure has been! I've only had one error while writing a disc, and I blame that on the overload of programs I was running on my computer. I do think with a...
Pros: Reliable, good software, easy to use Cons: dosn't record at full speed!
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...
Pros: works great, don't format the hard drive!! Cons: it breaks after a format, and hewlett packard can't even give tech support on the matter
Recently, I purchased a Hewlett Packard CD-Writer Plus, and it worked just fine. It writes great, and hardly ever has an error. But then I decided it was time to format the hard drive (as you are recommended to at least once a year) and reinstall...
Pros: easy everything Cons: nothing to gripe about
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...
Pros: Blazing 10x WRITE speed, Direct CD software, EZ install Cons: Dark gray...doesn't match the rest of my machine :(
Wow! What a great product! Until yesterday, I was using an older Philips 2x2x24 at work. I wanted a CDRW for home, so, looked around for the fastest I could find. READ speeds didn't mean all that much to me, as did RE-WRITE speeds. I wanted a fast...
Pros: Easy to install Cons: Is it worth the high speed
I needed a fast burner so I purchased the hp 9300i, I am not really pleased with the cd writer because i cannot burn audio cd faster than 4x with the adaptec software, and with the data cds if am lucky i can burn them successfully at at 10x. I have...
