Hewlett Packard CD-Writer 9100i CD-RW Burner

Pros: 8X BURNING!!!
Cons: if it was only external :-)

I have been in computing for almost 20 years now, and never has a product impressed me all round as this one has. Installation of the unit and the drivers is a breeze - the manual is reasonably decent too.
The bundled software is the real bonus...

Pros: Performance, ease of install, reliability
Cons: Easy CD Creator 4 is in stores, but HP gives you v3.5

HP's new 9110i gives you outstanding performance, ease of installation, and reliability for a reasonable price. For $299 retail, you get an internal ATAPI unit capable of 8x write, 32x read, and 4x rewrite. HP's value-add is the excellent documentation...

Pros: Speed
Cons: None

I bought a HP Burner 2 years ago and I still use it today im very happy that I bought it. Its an internal model ran me about 400 bucks. I can burn full 650 min cds in about 30 mins which is not that bad. The quality of the music cds are great I couldnt...

Pros: fast write and re-write speed, reliable
Cons: multitasking is impossible; fast write speed is processor intensive

I recently acquired a new computer. When i purchased it, i decided to buy a CD-RW drive to creat my own cd's with. At the time, i had remembered a commercial i had seen about a year prior advertising a cd drive that could write cd's for personal use. I...

Pros: Widely Compatible, Easy Installation
Cons: Not Ideal for Advanced Users

I purchased the HP Surestore 8200 as an upgrade to my earlier SureStore 6020i. There were several reasons for doing so.

First, I wanted the ability to use CD-RW's, discs that could be re-written multiple times. My cd-writer was my primary...

Pros: Save thousands of files on disk, create great music mixes
Cons: expensive and not as efficient

CD writers are the new rage. I love having one so I can create great music mixes, and save 650 MB's to the disk. The one problem I have with this specific CD Writer Plus, and HP Writer's in general, is often they skip. Yes, you buy an expensive piece of...

Pros: HP quality written all over it, reliable
Cons: pricey

WOW! In my opinion, this is the best IDE CD-RW drive out there. If you can afford to go SCSI, then go SCSI, but this is your next best choice. The 4mb buffer is great, and I have not had a misburn yet! I can surf the net, multitask a whole...

Pros: Good speed
Cons: Software needs some work

I purchased a hp CD writer (8200i) about a year ago now and it has been great I make
backups of my hard drive all of the time and I make CD’s from music I download off of the
Internet, which is great. With the cdr-rw I received Adaptec’s easy...

Pros: Fast, Reliable, Great Software, Easy Setup,
Cons: A Bit Pricey

There is an old adage. "You get what you pay for." Well, in this case, you get a fantastic drive for a reasonable price. The HP CD-Writer Plus 9100i is a great step forward with reliable 8x writing. I have burned over 20 CDs at this point...

Pros: Easy, fast, reliable
Cons: still a little pricey

Easy to use and install.
I have never installed anything on my destop, so I was a little apprehensive when I decided to try and buy and install a CDRW. Let me say that this product put all my doubts aside.
Simple and easy to install, it...

Pros: excellent speed, great software, HP brand
Cons: confusing audio wire to connect to your sound card

I was looking into buying CD-RW drives, and I was almost certain that I wanted an HP. They're reliable, and wonderful. So, after seeing the HP 9110i drive knocked down from $300 about two months ago to $250 about a week ago, I had to get it.
Since I...

Pros: Reliable and as fast as advertised.
Cons: Software can be iffy, but it's not terrible

I bought the HP 9100i a couple of months ago to replace my Yamaha 4416, which had died after 15 months of use (see my opinion for more details). So far, the the 9100i has worked as advertised, but with a few hiccups. Installation was a breeze, and the...

Pros: Works well, good software package
Cons: Sometimes you have to slow it down to make it work

This burner is the one that I currently use at work and it rarely lets me down. It seems to be fairly stable, and able to write onto most any medium that it is given (no matter how see-through, or what color the CD).

In fact, the only...

Pros: Reliable, works every time. Not too expensive
Cons: No 6x option

I bought the 9100i for several reasons. I did my research, checked out the opinoins here on epinions, looked at price tables, and decided that for the money this was the best buy.

The 9100i at the time was the fastest writer on the...

Pros: Easy to use & fast
Cons: Not the cheapest, but good quality

I recently set up a new IBM 500 Mhz pc from peoplepc.com The first thing I did after getting the software installed was to hook up this internal cdrw drive.
Installation was fast & easy, especially if you follow the installation video on the cd...
