This HP external optical drive is on sale for $39.99, down from $49.12. It lets you read and burn CDs and DVDs over a USB connection. It's a good pick for anyone who needs to access old discs on a modern laptop.
Tip: Make sure your computer's USB port provides enough power, as this drive doesn't use a separate power adapter.
Best for: Someone with a modern laptop or desktop that lacks a built-in CD/DVD drive.
The HP External USB Optical Drive is a straightforward solution for a common modern problem: many new computers don't have a built-in disc drive. This unit plugs into a USB port to give you back the ability to read and burn CDs and DVDs. It's powered entirely by the USB connection, which is convenient, though some older or underpowered USB ports might struggle. The build is compact but not the absolute thinnest on the market, making it a practical, no-fuss accessory. What stands out is its simplicity. You don't need to install drivers or find a separate power brick. It works with both USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports. The main limitation is its format support; it handles DVDs and CDs but not Blu-ray discs, so it's for standard-definition media only. For the price, especially on sale, it delivers reliable, basic functionality without extra frills. If you have a stack of old software, music CDs, or home-burned DVD movies, this drive makes them accessible again. It's a utilitarian tool that does its job well. The one-year warranty from HP adds a bit of reassurance. While not the cheapest option ever, the current discount makes it a sensible buy for the specific task it performs.
At $39.99, this drive is about $9 off its recent 30-day average price of $49.12. Over the last six months, the average price has been around $46. This sale price is a solid discount from the recent norm and represents good value for a name-brand external drive. It's not an all-time low, but it's a competitive price for reliable hardware.
No, it draws power directly from your computer's USB port, so no external power brick is required.
Yes, you can use it to play DVD movies, but you will need separate media player software installed on your computer.
It should work with most modern operating systems, but you should check HP's official support page for specific driver or compatibility information for your Mac model.
