Ultra-slim external DVD burner

The LG GP60NB50 is a compact USB optical drive that reads and writes CDs and DVDs at up to 24X and 8X respectively. It suits laptop owners, Surface users and Mac owners who need occasional disc access without an internal bay. M-DISC support adds long-term archival capability for important files.

Silent Play noise reduction and low power draw

Silent Play technology lowers playback noise during film or music discs while the slim mechanism keeps operating power minimal over a standard USB connection. DVD-ROM access time is 167 ms and CD-ROM access time is 139 ms, with a 768 KB buffer smoothing data flow. No external power adapter is required for normal use.

M-DISC archival writing decides suitability

If you need to create discs rated for centuries of data retention, the M-DISC write function makes this drive the right choice. Buyers who only need standard DVD-R or CD-R burning at 8X and 24X speeds will also be served, but the archival format is the distinguishing feature.

Questions about this item

How do I install the LG GP60NB50 external DVD burner, and what step do people often miss?

Connect the supplied USB cable to a powered USB port on your Windows or Mac computer; the drive draws power from that single cable and requires no separate adapter. The step users miss is plugging into a low-power hub or front-panel port that cannot supply enough current for reliable disc writing.

What maintenance or replacement will the LG GP60NB50 need over time?

The laser lens may gather dust after heavy use; clean it occasionally with a standard optical-drive lens cleaner disc. The USB cable can wear at the strain relief if bent sharply, so replace the cable if connection becomes intermittent.

What limit appears first during sustained burning on the LG GP60NB50?

Continuous 8× DVD writing generates heat in the slim 0.55" chassis; the drive will throttle speed to protect the mechanism, so long multi-disc sessions run slower than the rated maximum.
