Hi @Rodrigo28,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your PC!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

 

The HP Omnibook X series laptops are quite old, and finding a specific external CD drive recommended for them might be challenging. However, most external USB CD/DVD drives should work with these laptops, given they support USB connectivity. Here are a few tips to consider when choosing an external CD/DVD drive:

Compatibility: Ensure the external CD/DVD drive is compatible with your laptop's operating system version. Most current USB drives are compatible with both Windows and macOS.

Features: Look for features that meet your needs, such as the ability to read/write CD and DVD formats.

Brand Reliability: Although there's no specific HP external CD drive recommended for the Omnibook X, reliable brands such as LG, ASUS, and Dell generally offer good quality drives that are widely compatible.

USB Interface: Ensure the drive uses USB 2.0 or USB 3.0, as these are standard interfaces and provide better data transfer speeds.

Please verify that your Omnibook X has the necessary USB ports to connect an external drive and confirm compatibility with any drive you choose.

I hope this helps.
