LG GP60NB60 External DVD Writer, USB 2.0, Black

This external DVD writer is a compact, lightweight, and convenient solution when you need an optical "cable" device – for a laptop without a DVD, for quick software installation, or for burning disc copies. It connects via USB 2.0, so there's no need for additional power or complicated settings. The black color and weight of only 200 g make it easy to carry in a backpack with your laptop. It supports writing and reading CD and DVD, without support for Blu-ray formats.

What you get

With a DVD-ROM reading speed of up to 8x and CD-ROM up to 24x, you can comfortably watch movies from disc, install games and programs, or read data archives. Writing to CD-R and CD-RW at speeds up to 24x is more than sufficient for quickly backing up music, drivers, or older projects you want to keep offline. For DVD media, you have up to 8x for DVD-R / DVD+R and DVD+RW and up to 6x for DVD-RW – practical for video collections, document archives, or installation discs. Access times of 140 ms for CD-ROM and 160 ms for DVD-ROM keep the response within normal limits for an external device via USB 2.0.

• Connection via USB 2.0, which ensures easy use with almost any modern laptop or desktop computer without the need for an internal bay.
• DVD-ROM reading speed of up to 8x, suitable for watching movies, installing software, and accessing archived data.
• CD-ROM reading speed of up to 24x for quickly copying files from old discs, music CDs, and software collections.
• Writing speed for CD-R and CD-RW up to 24x, allowing relatively fast creation of audio CDs, backup discs, and installation media.
• Support for DVD-R and DVD+R with a writing speed of up to 8x for reliable storage of larger archives, videos, and disc images.
• Writing to DVD+RW up to 8x and DVD-RW up to 6x, which is convenient if you want rewritable media for frequent data updates.
• Compact body weighing only 200 g and a neutral black color, easy to carry and visually unobtrusive next to a laptop or mini PC.

Who it is suitable for

It is suitable if you use a laptop without an optical drive, need to read or write CD/DVD occasionally – for old games, movies, drivers, music, or archives. It is also a good choice for service work when you need to install an OS or software from a disc on different machines. If you are looking for Blu-ray reading/writing or maximum speeds for large volumes of data every day, this device will not meet those needs.

The combination of USB 2.0 connectivity, support for the main CD/DVD formats, and low weight makes it a practical small tool that simply gets the job done when you need an optical device.
