Hewlett Packard CD-Writer 9100i CD-RW Burner

Pros: Fast, Cheap
Cons: Does not include drive rails with kit

Over the years I have acquired many files on my computer that I just couldn’t justify deleting. It doesn’t take long for your hard drive to fill up to capacity so I was on the lookout for additional storage. My options were: using the floppy drives;...

Pros: Relatively easy to use and a good software bundle.
Cons: No Windows 2000 support in the box and not Free!

I bought the 9110i model in this series. Overall it is a good unit and works as advertised. Some things however did concern me about portions of it that I wish I would have realized sooner. The 9110i is the IDE internal 8x write, 4x rewrite and 32x read...

Pros: Works well, reliable
Cons: Will not take 80 minute CDRs

I got this CD burner for two reasons. First, I had a friend who had the 8200 and his worked great for him. Second, my Sony Spressa CDR just wasn't cutting it (I would write a review of it, but I would have to create a new category). Anyway, I went to...

Pros: free mp3 player, reliable, easy to install
Cons: 8X writing only if you can buffer that fast.

This will only last 4 days from the moment I mention it, and that's till the 8th of September 2000. Now let me tell you how to get all of this for only $160! Staples is offering a $150 rebate on D-link MP3 player. Yeah I know the MP3 player is totally...

Pros: It works! Every time!
Cons: Not the greatest software bundle (but who really cares?)

I must admit I'm a little bummed out that the price of this drive came down almost $50 just about a month after I bought it. So, if you've managed to wait, good for you. You should be able to find the 9100/9110 (the only difference is that the 10 has...

Pros: Available tech support-- short hold time
Cons: Must use Adaptec software to get support-- can't get burner to work consistently, tech support only provided work-arounds, not fixes.

I bought the 9100 because I got a great deal on Ebay for $150, and my HP 7200 just died after about a year and a half.

So far the speed is very fast, but I am having a problems with little skips in the finished product. I have tried using all...

Pros: It was madly inexpensive.
Cons: Didn't come with all the software I wanted/needed/expected.

I'm a web page designer. I make graphics, I write javascripts and I design a pretty mean interface. I don't set up computers and hardware, frankly, gives me a headache. So this review isn't about technical yadda yadda, it's about usability, and with one...

Pros: you can copy data or music to a cd
Cons: The software locked up on us at first

A few days ago we purchased a Hewlett Packard CD_Writer Plus 9110i. I love it. It is pretty much easy to use for the most part. At first we had a problem with the software locking up and we couldn't get it past the first screen to create the cd. We...

Pros: easy installation, highly compatible, simple to use
Cons: packaged with proprietary software that is not as user friendly as Easy CD Creator

This is my third CD-RW drive. This is my way of saying one of two things:
a) I burn entirely too many disks. This may well be true.
b) I have entirely too much bad luck with hardware. This may also be true.

2 years ago I purchased...

Pros: Great Software and Hardware, Reliable, Decent Online Site
Cons: A little pricey, not the "easy as Jello" of installations

So I'm picky when it comes to technology. If you spend some good money on anything, why shouldn't you demand a good quality product? If quality is what you want at an affordable price, time has proven that you can trust HP. And with HP CD-Writer Plus...

Pros: Perfect install. Easy to learn, great sound.
Cons: Software could always be improved......

This is a great CD-RW drive, the best I've seen, and the one I now own. It took me (a pretty computer ignorant guy) about 25 minutes to install it myself on my Dell system. As I watched the install video, my fears melted away, and I was burning CDs...

Pros: Fast, easy to use, good looking
Cons: makes a ridiculous amount of noise in 32x read, as any other drive

Just got my 9100i today by mail, stuffed it in the computer instead of my 7200i, and it worked without any hassle.

With a little hassle I got WinCDR to recognize it (vers. 3.8a does, 3.7 not...).

I was very worried about the...

Pros: Cheap, Fast, and good quality
Cons: Cannot set the writing speed when using Easy CD Creator wizard

I bought a HP CD writer 4 years ago with all kinds of problems, which discouraged me to get a new HP CD Writer. Until recently, I bought a Digital Camera, and I was looking for a way to store all the pictures. After reading the reviews here in...

Pros: Solid product from a solid company
Cons: A little more money to buy

I paid $269 Can (with $30 mail in rebate) for my 9150i after waiting and counting my pennies for a few months. It is for my home system. I had reviewed opinion sites like Epinion to get a feel for good and poor products. I almost bought the Mitsumi...

Pros: The quality
Cons: the price

I simply love the Hewlett Packard Bell 9100i series plus cd-writer. This is an excellent prodcut if you like listening to music and need to make a copy of that favorite disk! This baby is awesome not only is the price a steal but you can create music...
