Pros: the speeds are awesome
Cons: needs a seperate scsi card

i love my new hp cd-writer because the speed is unbelevable and i have had absolutly no errors.

also it is nice to be able to burn cd's while i am doing other tasks which i was not able to do when i had the old hp6200 parellel port cd burner i...

Pros: price, speed, reliability
Cons: limited Windows 2000 support from HP

When I got the 9200e drive, it was one of the fastest available. I did a lot of research and decided on a SCSI type drive. Many friends had had problems with the IDE versions. I decided on the HP based on price and reputation. I have not regretted my...

Pros: Fast, reliable, nice to know its going to work when you need it too.
Cons: Price is a bit too high, comes with older software.

I have owned a 9300 for about 2 months now. I have had nothing but good experiences with it. Its fast and reliable. The only negative thing about it is that is comes with adaptec easy cd creator 3.5c. Thats kind of old. It just doesnt cut it for...

Pros: speed, use, programs that came with it
Cons: creating data labels (not music, just the data)

Yes I purchase the 9210i and so far Iam glad I did. First, I check out the reviews the top cdrw machines. Then availability of them at my local stores.And Finally, Price : I was going to buy the plextor but the unit cost about $399 and the scsi card was...

Pros: Good value, fast, SCSI is made for CD-Rs
Cons: Cost of SCSI card for people new to the format

Hewlett Packard has a well deserved reputation for quality. This CD-RW is evidence of that quality. This drive has everything that you could want in a CD-RW. Here is a quick run down of what you get, and why it is important.

First of all...

Pros: high quality, decent price
Cons: sub-par software package

Over the years Hewlett Packard has made nothing less then high-quality products. With this series of CD writers they do not disappoint!


Speed

The 9200 series is no longer top of the line in the speed...

Pros: 4 MB buffer
Cons: price

I bought this burner about a month ago, mainly to use as a way to store photos, rather than storing them on my hard drive. The installation was problem free, the moving of files from my hard drive to the cd was flawless and fast. (so fast I thought it...

Pros: quiet, quick, excellent quality, durable
Cons: can't think of any

The HP CD-Writer Plus 9200i Series, CD-RW drive is amazing. It may not be top of the line, or the best thing out there, but it sure can compete. With Write speeds up to 8x, Rewrite speeds at 4x, and read speeds at 32x, this drive is amazing.
...

Pros: Lots of helpful software + 4mb buffer
Cons:

The CD-Writer Plus software is essentially a shell wrapped around Adaptec's Easy CD Creator and DirectCD, along with HP's Disaster Recovery (akin to Adaptec's Take Two). HP adds its Fast Format, which lets you begin writing to a still-formatting CD-RW...

Pros: Fast drive, big buffer, fast SCSI interface, few coasters
Cons: Windows 2000 software costs extra

I originally wanted to get a Yamaha 6X SCSI CD burner from TigerDirect. It never shipped, so I ended up going for the HP 9200 Plus Series. It cost a bit more, but it was faster. The drive can write at 8X, re-write at 4X, and read at a quick 32X. This...

Pros: Its extremely fast and hardly ever messes up
Cons: You have to install it yourself

This Cd-writer is the best I've had in a long time. The 8x speeds allows me to write a complete music CD in less than 15 minutes. I never had to wasted blank CDS on fragmented streams and the writing quality was always optimum. The only problem was...

Pros: Very fast speeds, easy to use software
Cons: none as of yet

This review is actually on the 9300i CD writer plus, but the 9200i is the closest product I could review. The 9300 has a 10x write speed, a 4x rewrite speed, and a 32x read speed. This is super fast. I was going to purchase the 9200i, but then when...

Pros: SUPER FAST!
Cons: expensive

I purchased the internal HP-CD-Writer 9200i, it is awesome. It has a 8x8x32x speed and writes CD's fast. Installation is easy, if if your a computer novice, IT CAN BE DONE!The instructions are very clear and precise, you cant go wrong! The write speed is...

Pros: good quality fairly easy to install
Cons: not the fastest on the market which is a 12x write

Are you a frequent cd buyer? spending 15 bucks a cd and buy as many as 10 a month? Instead of going out to the store and buying the cd why not pay around $280 and get this great hp 9200i series cd-rw? You can download any songs you want and burn them...

Pros: A wonderful machine
Cons: Not so wonderful service

This is a fast, accurate and very quiet machine. It came packed in a special inflatable cushion in a box within a box within a peanut-filled third box - very protected. The workmanship is the same high quality that I've found in HP's printers and I...
