OSGEAR Internal 9.5mm slim SATA 8x DVDRW CD DVD RW Rom Burner Writer Laptop PC Optical Drive Device Tray Loading

Really easy to install. Remove top of computer. Unplug two plugs in back of old drive. Pull out old drive. Slide in new one. Plug in two plugs. Screw top of computer back on. DONE!! Works great - burned 3 discs in i hour. Love it!!!

HP says there is no option for a CD drive in the new Pavilion TP01-2137c.....this 9.5mm drive fits in the chassis, and the little metal tabs in the chassis sort of hold the drive in place....note that the actual HP drive is supposed to have a plastic side piece that locks the drive into the chassis, which this drive does not have, but, again, the metal friction tabs in the chassis sort of do the trick. The cables necessary to connect the drive are in place inside the HP TP01-2137c, and Windows 11 recognized that the drive is there. The mechanism that opens the drive is a bit weak, and you may have to help it open and close, but really, how often do you need to put a CD in the drive? Also, the front panel of the drive is just a tad smaller than the opening in the front panel of the HP....meh, I don't care.

The drive was easy to install into my Linux desktop and I have used it to play CDs without problems. I can play my own previously-burned DVDs, but this OSGear drive will not play store-bought DVDs. I can play these same DVDs via an external (USB) cd/dvd player (two different ones), but they will not play at all with this OSGear drive although I can see that it is detecting them. I'm not sure why that is, but since that's not my primary intended use-case I haven't investigated further. --- Follow-up: After I investigated and installed the "regionset" package, I was able to discover that the drive came pre-configured for Region 2. Once I changed that to Region 1, I was able to play a US DVD.

Fits HP-envy TE01-1150xt compact tower EXACTLY as described. All I had to do was transfer the green adapter that hold the drive in, Fantastic. Thank You

Had problems right out of the box. Skipping data and making grinding noises. Low quality. Plastic tray is very thin and flexes. The bad drive I was replacing tray was twice as thick and didn't flex. Tried to ask the seller for help. He told me it was my CD's (which work fine in every other device I own) and passed the problem off to Amazon to deal with. Having sellers with products like this does nothing but hurt Amazon IMO. If your looking for a 9.5mm drive spend more and get something of quality. Take a pass on this one.

Perfect fit for my new Dell Inspiron 3020S Small Form computer. Simple plug and play install with no drivers or software needed. The Dell has the required cables with proper connecters pre installed, just attach and close the case.

Purchased as a used-like new DVD-RW device from Amazon, the drive arrived bent and not able to eject the disc tray. An hour's careful bending of the very flimsy sheet metal typical of these 9.5 mm thick drives, adjustment of the ejection latch, and repeated installation - removal from a desktop tower, yielded a unit both physically and electrically "up to snuff". The drive plays back and records as expected. This drive arrived with the front bezel left retaining tang (plastic) broken off, and the right tang bent through failure. The front bezel flopped free during first installation of the drive. The bezel is now super-glued in place, AFTER the required sheet metal and ejection latch repair. This CD / DVD-RW unit is identified by Windows 10 Device Manager (from the drive firmware) as HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GU70N, a Hitachi-LG Data Storage device. The name "OSGEAR appears nowhere except on the wholly inadequate zip-lock bag in which the drive was packed, and in Amazon's advertising. All-in-all, a perfectly usable DVD-RW drive for a pittance in cost, but requiring judicious repair by the buyer to be made usable.

DVD WORKS FINE, BUT IT TAKES AA LOT OF WORK TO GET IT TO WORK FINE.
