AI-generated summary
If you’re trying to breathe a bit of life into a compatible HP mini PC, this DVD ODD module can be a sensible, low-cost fix. £79.98 ex-VAT isn’t crazy for a genuine HP internal optical drive, and it’s the kind of purchase that pays off when you *actually* need disc-based installs, firmware media, or legacy workflows. In day-to-day UK IT support, that’s mostly about small-batch rollouts, recovery/diagnostic tasks, or environments that still cling to optical installers.
That said, I wouldn’t buy this “just because”—most businesses have moved on to USB/iPXE/network installs. If your use-case is modern Windows deployment, software distribution, or anything scripted, an optical drive is more of a fallback than a core tool. Also check compatibility carefully with your exact HP mini model/chassis before ordering; these internal modules can be picky, and the cost of getting it wrong is annoying. If you don’t know you need it, you probably don’t.
Easy assembly
Slide and hook the Module to the PC with the included screws, connect with the included USB 2.0 cable, and use the integrated VESA mount to place the Module wherever you need it.
Make it secure
Lock the Module to your HP Desktop Mini or a desk or table with the optional HP Ultra-Slim Cable Lock.
World-class support
Rest easy with a one-year limited warranty.
