Editorial Reviews :
The Hewlett-Packard CD-Writer 8220e is a powerful external CD-rewritable drive for writing and rewriting CDs that can be shared universally among CD, CD-ROM, and DVD-ROM players. With simple plug-and-play USB installation, this CD-RW drive lets you create, share, and store data on high-capacity CDs. Record up to 700 MB of data or up to 80 minutes of audio to CD. You can format a CD-RW disc quickly for use like a floppy with HP Fast Format, then just drag and drop files from Windows Explorer or save files directly to CD. The 8220e supports track-at-once, disc-at-once, packet, and multisession writing methods, and because it is an external drive, you can use it with multiple computers.
The Hewlett-Packard 8220e CD-Writer comes with a one-year warranty.
Buyer Reviews :
After reading the mixed reviews on the HP CD Writer 8220e, I decided to try it. I did not plan on using this machine a whole lot, just to burn a few CDs every now and then, so I wasn't looking for anything top of the line. And this CD Writer is definitely not that.
I was able to burn a couple data CDs successfully but when I tried to burn a music CD, I kept getting an error after the process finished, telling me the CD couldn't be written for some odd reason. I tried a CD from a different manufacturer - same result. Not only did it not work, that CD could not be used again. After wasting 5 CDs, I finally figured out that the problem is with the HP MyCD software. After adding the files to your layout, the software will tell you that you have extra time left, but then the CD-R will run out of space (without telling you). At this point, the software doesn't know what to do, so it ejects your CD, and you can't use it again. Not only that, there is no way to save your layout, so you have to design it all over again.
The best thing to do is leave at least 3 minutes of time available after adding files to your layout. Once I did this, the problem was resolved. Or you could spend $90 and get the Adaptec Easy CD Creator software, which is much more user-friendly and has fewer bugs.
