22X DVD burner with LightScribe

The LG Electronics GH22LP20 is a 5.25-inch internal DVD burner designed for systems that still use an IDE interface. It writes DVD±R discs at 22X and CD-R media at 48X, while dual-layer DVD+R DL recording reaches 16X. LightScribe support lets users etch labels directly onto compatible discs without a separate printer.

Tray-load mechanism and black bezel

A standard tray-load mechanism accepts 5.25-inch drive bays and presents a black front panel that matches dark chassis themes. The IDE connector limits installation to older motherboards or legacy industrial equipment that retain the parallel ATA interface. A 2 MB buffer helps sustain streaming writes during extended burning sessions.

LightScribe labelling and basic media support

LightScribe functionality enables monochrome label etching on supported media, removing the need for adhesive stickers or inkjet printing. The drive reads DVD-ROM at 16X and CD-ROM at 48X, while DVD-RAM writing reaches 12X for drag-and-drop data storage.
