I'm confused, but satisfied........2002-01-05

I am an average consumer, not a PC expert by any means. I purchased an HP 9510i 12x4x32, installed it easily, and was able to burn a 20 song CD-R in about 12 minutes with the included software on my el-cheapo HP Pavilion PC. The unit failed though and I had to send it back for a full refund. The closest model they had in stock at the time however, was the 9150i 8x4x32. I figured I would lose a great deal of speed in burning CDs, but would save $50 on the purchase price, and decided to "settle" for this model. (While I waited for it to arrive, I happened to download a trial version of "NERO" off the internet.) I received the new unit, installed it in about five minutes and to my amazement, am now able to burn a 20 song CD-R in about 10 minutes! I highly recommend the 9150i. It was a breeze to install, and is idiot-proof when it comes to burning CDs. I guess I recommend scouting out some different software other than what it comes with, however.

The worst of the worst.......2001-09-30

This piece of garbage takes around five CDs to make one without errors. So if you buy a 50 unit spindle and you use this garbage then you can expect to take advantage of only 10 CDs, maybe less. It's simply the very worst of all. I had a HP CD Writer 8250i in the past and it worked fine, but I guess I was just lucky, because many people I know had problems with HP drives. I wouldn't recomment HP burners to anyone. Better buy Plextor, Sony, Yamaha.

Excellent CD-Burner.......2001-06-13

Reviewer: Carlos from P.R. I bought this CDR for my computer.I found that the Hewlett Packard has the most features available, Excellent product, easy installation, and easy to use.

Ridiculous Customer Service.......2001-05-22

I purchased this drive in large part because of a rebate HP was offering at the time. (Don't worry the drive costs less now without a rebate.)

HP expired the rebate just one month after the last eligible purchase date. I called them and the just said 'that's just the way it goes.'

I know other companies use rebates as a gimmick to get a quick buck, but until now I have expected more from HP.

Never worked for Pentium 200 Mhz with 128 MB RAM.......2001-02-13

Even thoug HP says minumum requirements are Pentium 200 MHz with 64 MB RAM and Windows 95, it has never worked for me ever and ended up with returning. I tested with even 1X speed, however, it also caused error after a while in writing. HP's burning software doesn't tell much about the reason of write errors. It only says that CD may be dirty or scratched and destroyed ten new CDs of mine in that way. Reading was working fine, but writing was never successful. Troubleshooting support was not helpful at all.
