Ultra-Slim Portable DVD Writer
The LG Electronics GP65NG60 is an external DVD RW drive measuring only 0.55 inches high. It connects through USB 2.0 and draws power from the same port. The gold finish suits thin ultrabooks and mobile workstations where internal optical bays are absent.
Silent Operation and Low Power Draw
With no active cooling fan, the drive runs silently during read and write tasks. USB 2.0 power delivery keeps consumption low enough for extended battery-powered sessions. M-DISC support allows archival burns without extra hardware.
Replaces Internal Optical Bays
This unit upgrades laptops and compact desktops that lack a built-in DVD writer. It handles DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD-RW and DVD-RAM media for software installs, data backup and disc authoring. Buyers who need Blu-ray read or write capability should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
How do I connect the GP65NG60 to my laptop and what step do people miss?
Plug the USB 2.0 cable into a port that supplies enough current; the drive draws power from the bus so a low-power hub or keyboard port will prevent it from spinning up.
What part of this drive will need replacement first with regular use?
The laser pickup assembly is the wear item; M-DISC writing runs the laser at higher power, so heavy archival use shortens its life faster than standard DVD burning.
What speed limit appears first during a long batch of disc burns?
The USB 2.0 interface caps sustained throughput at 60 MB/s, so the 8X DVD write speed cannot be maintained once the buffer empties during continuous sessions.
