External USB DVD writer LG GP57ES40, USB 2.0, silver gray

LG GP57ES40 is an external USB DVD writer in a compact silver-gray body, which is a convenient solution if your laptop does not have an optical drive or you want an easy way to write and read discs. It connects via USB 2.0 and does not require complicated installation – just plug it in and work. It supports writing DVDs and CDs at up to 8x for DVD and 24x for CD, which is more than enough for archiving, movies, music, and software. Weighing only 200 g, it is easily portable and you can comfortably keep it in a bag next to your laptop.

What you get

The device supports up to 8x writing speed for DVD-R, DVD+R, and DVD±RW, giving you a good balance between speed and writing security – a convenient option for backing up documents, photos, and videos on separate discs. For music, audio compilations, or lighter archives, you can use CD media with writing speeds of up to 24x for CD-R and CD-RW, which saves time with larger collections of files. Reading DVD-ROM is at up to 8x with an access time of 160 ms, and for CD-ROM – 140 ms, so installing software, watching movies, or working with archive discs happens without unnecessary waiting. The small 1 MB buffer is typical for such devices and is more than sufficient for normal writing and reading via USB 2.0. Thanks to the external form factor, you have flexibility – you can use it on a laptop, desktop computer, or even on different machines in the office.

Who it is suitable for

LG GP57ES40 is a good option if you use a laptop without an optical drive but still rely on DVDs and CDs – for movies, music, software, or archives. It is also suitable for office environments where you sometimes need to read or write discs for clients or for archiving. If you are looking for a Blu-Ray device, this is not the right choice, as the focus here is only on CDs and DVDs.

The combination of USB 2.0, 8x writing on DVD, 24x on CD, and very low weight makes the LG GP57ES40 a practical and easy way to add an optical drive to any computer without unnecessary complications.
