What’s inside the box


Now it’s time to take a look at the drive itself and what the drive came shipped with.

Our package included the HP dvd1040e itself, a power cable, vertical stand, USB cable, drive documentation and the Nero 7 Essentials software.

Now let’s take a look at the drive.

The bezel of the HP dvd1040e is plainly styled. We can also see various logos, an emergency eject hole, single green LED and an eject button.
