Summary: Great Product!
Review: I have just bought and installed the 8250I internal CDR-W drive. It was the easiest hardware install I have done in ages. The software bundle works really well also. All in all a brainless set-up. I like the perfornace and ease of use so much I had a family member purchase the same drive. No problems! I recommend it!

Summary: Good but....
Review: I have worked with computers for many years and I must say this was one of the toughest installations I've ever had to deal with. So if your not very familiar with installing hardware you might want to leave it to the pros to install. Comes with a thin instruction manual which tells you not much more than to go to hp.com (Hewlett Packard's web site). Also, it has a mediocore software suite. You used to an excellent software suite a while back when buying an HP product. Other than the above, this cd- writer has excellent speeds for a price you can't beat.

Summary: Excellent writer for the price
Review: i recently bought this HP writer and i am very pleased with it. It only took about 10 minutes to install, including rebooting, etc. My computer which is almost 2 years old had no problems with the new hardware. It takes some practice getting used to the software, as it would to get used to any writer, but I put it to the test and wrote a 74 minute sequence of music to a 74 minute cd-r using a mix of mp3 and cd music and the whole thing recorded perfectly, i have had no problems. It writes at a medium speed with excellent quality and very good for the price. The software cant convert mp3 to wav, but its easy to find a mp3 converter. Also, mine did not include an audio cable to hook up to my sound board like the instructions said it would, but that wasnt much of a problem because i already have my main cd rom hooked up to my sound board. But overall its a great writer for a great price, and ive been into computers for a long time now and have looked at cd writers for a long time and i reccomend this one.

Summary: This is so easy!
Review: The drive was easy to install and run. This drive was one of the easiest drives to install that I have ever seen. I have been working on computers for about 1 year and over that time the drive that I sugested my coustomers bought was a HP. This is because I found out that Hp takes the time to make there products fool-proof even if the person putting them in has never done it before. Also before I started putting in HP's a RW drive would take about one to two hours to install but since I now do HP's it takes ten to twenty min. This is the best product that HP could have made. This cuts my time to about a fourth what it use to. Thanx HP. I couldn't have done it with out you.

Summary: Fast, Cheap, and Easy
Review: The install for this CD-RW was a breeze. It worked well with my hardware and the software/drivers were simple to install, and that's not common with my NT4.0 machine. The drive burns fast and I haven't had a coaster yet.

Summary: Easy to install, easy to use
Review: This drive took me about 10 minutes to install, including the time spent shutting down, rebooting, and so on. It was a breeze. Their software looks at your system first and gives dummy-proof instructions on how to set the jumper, how to hook up the IDE cables, etc.The software is good, not incredible, but it works fine. Hardware is fast, quiet and reliable. My only complaint was that there was not a cable included to hook the drive directly to my sound card, but that was a minor inconvenience (and since I already have another CD drive wired that way, I might not have been able to use it anyway). The instructions implied that the cord should have been provided.
