Ultra-Slim Portable DVD Writer

The LG Electronics 8X USB 2.0 Super Multi drive is a 14mm thin external burner designed for laptops and desktops lacking an internal optical drive. It connects via USB 2.0 and is backward compatible with USB 3.0 ports. The unit supports Windows versions from XP through 10 as well as macOS X 10.7.5.

Bundled Cable and CyberLink Software

A USB cable is included in the box so the drive works immediately without a separate purchase. CyberLink software is also supplied, providing applications for disc authoring, video playback and backup tasks. The 0.75MB cache buffer and underrun prevention help maintain data integrity during write operations.

Suits Mobile Users Needing Legacy Media Access

This writer suits anyone who needs to read or write CDs and DVDs on modern thin-and-light machines, including M-DISC archival support. It is not for buyers who require Blu-ray reading or writing capability. Builders needing an internal 5.25-inch form factor or faster USB 3.0-native transfer rates should look at other categories.

Questions about this item

Does the tray mechanism on this LG portable DVD writer need periodic cleaning or lubrication?

The tray-load mechanism has no user-serviceable parts; keeping discs clean and storing the drive in its sleeve prevents dust buildup that could affect the 160 ms DVD-ROM access time.

Which speed limit appears first during a long DVD±R DL burn session — the 6× write ceiling or the 0.75 MB buffer?

The 6× maximum DVD+R DL and DVD-R DL write speed is the hard ceiling; the 0.75 MB cache and underrun prevention keep the stream steady up to that limit.

How much fan noise or heat does the drive produce when running at 8× DVD write for hours?

There is no internal fan; Silent Play technology adjusts playback speed to minimise noise, and the USB 2.0 interface draws ≤ 480 Mbit/s power, so heat stays low during extended burns.
