DVD burner for 5.25" bays

The LG GH22NS50 is an internal optical drive that writes DVD±R at 22X and rewrites DVD±RW at 8X. It reads DVD-ROM at 16X and CD-ROM at 48X. A 2MB buffer and SATA connection keep data flowing steadily during long burns. The black tray-loading mechanism fits standard 5.25" drive bays.

Suits DVD archiving, not Blu-ray

This drive suits anyone who still archives data, creates video DVDs or rips audio CDs on a desktop PC with a free 5.25" bay. It cannot read or write Blu-ray discs, so buyers who need high-capacity optical storage should look at a different class of drive.

22X DVD±R write speed

The headline specification is 22X write speed for DVD±R media, which lets a full single-layer disc finish in roughly 4.5 minutes. If your workflow demands faster DVD burning or any Blu-ray support, this model will not meet that requirement.
