Ultra-Slim External DVD Writer

The LG GP60NS50 is a tray-load external DVD writer measuring 0.55 inches high and 5.67 inches wide. It connects via USB 2.0 and includes a Y-type cable for power. The drive reads CDs at 24x and DVDs at 8x, with a 0.75 MB cache to prevent buffer under-runs. Mac OS and Windows 10 compatibility is built in.

Who This Suits

Users who need to read or write CDs and DVDs on a laptop or desktop without an internal optical bay will find this drive convenient. M-disc support allows long-term archival recording on compatible media. Buyers who require Blu-ray playback or recording should look at a different product, as this unit does not support Blu-ray formats.

Deciding Specification

The maximum DVD write speed of 8x and CD write speed of 24x define the drive’s throughput for disc creation. DVD-ROM access time is 167 ms and CD-ROM access time is 139 ms. Double-layer DVD±R DL recording at 6x doubles storage per disc compared to single-layer media.

Questions about this item

Will the GP60NS50 work with my older laptop that only has USB 2.0 ports?

Yes, the drive uses a USB 2.0 host interface and includes a Y-type cable for connection to standard USB 2.0 ports.

How can I verify the GP60NS50 is performing at its rated 8x DVD write speed after setup?

Use burning software to write a DVD±R disc and confirm the selected speed reaches 8x; the drive's 0.75 MB buffer helps prevent buffer under-runs during the process.

Does the GP60NS50 package include everything needed to start burning discs on Windows, or do I need a separate cable?

The box contains the slim drive, a USB 2.0 Y-cable, a Windows software installation disc, and a quick guide; no extra cable is required.
