HP BD340I 12X Blu-Ray Disc Writer

I bought my HP laptop with HDMI in 2009 with similar problem. Now it is better. Nothing except Blu-Ray writer did not work

HP Product Managers should test its products as users before release to market. I ended up to return twice in 3 months

Drive write-speed

The HP BD340i does BD-R DL write does not work 50% of the time. This is expensive because each individual blank BD disk is $10, or $100 for pack of 10. The product is not listed anywhere on HP's website - they have no software drivers available

Burns great to dvd5 and dvd9 for avchd or dvd. Forget the blu-ray Discs wast of money unless HP has a fix whiich I havenot been able to find anywhere

Make a lot of bad blu-ray discs unusable expensive. It will burn a disc 1 out of 5. The other 4 are useless it try to start the burn than says burn to disc failed and makes the disc useless
