My only gripe is the cables for these things are always way too short for use on a desktop PC. I had to buy a longer cable to go with this. It's not a bad little external DVD drive, windows 11 detected itimmediately, so it was no hassle to get working. Review: Works as described - I’ve tested this on windows, both with the included software, which works fine. I also tried it with VLC media player which I personally prefer. It worked perfectly. It’s compact, gets power directly from the USB (Type-A) port, so there’s only one cable to keep track of and so far it has worked perfectly. ## Features - Play your media on your laptop, PC or digital photo frame by simply connecting the drive with a USB cable (USB 2.0 interface compatible with USB 3.0) - M-DISC Support: M-Discs have been tested and proven to outlast standard DVD's, offering superior data protection with greater longevity for photos, videos and data files - Silent Play Technology: Helps reduce noise during playback by adjusting the playback speed to the optimal performance for different multimedia - Super Multi Compatibility: Reads and writes DVD+/-R, DVD+/-R DL, DVD-RAM and CD-R discs in one convenient package -with an 8x DVD+/-R write speed - Windows 11 and MAC OS compatible, sleek and lightweight design, product weight: 200 g ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01AXVMWBA | | Best Sellers Rank | 3,094 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 15 in External CD & DVD Drives | | Box Contents | GP60NBW60 | | Brand | LG | | Brand Name | LG | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 2 | | Color | White | | Compatible Devices | Laptop, PC, Television | | Country of Origin | Taiwan | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 3,387 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 1385 Megabits Per Second | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 2 Years | | Form Factor | Flat, Rectangular | | Global Trade Identification Number | 08806087304329 | | Hard Disk Description | No Hard-disk | | Hardware Interface | USB 2.0 | | Hardware Platform | Laptop, PC, Television | | Hardware interface | USB 2.0 | | Hardware platform | Laptop, PC, Television | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 17L x 18.8W x 3.9H centimetres | | Item Weight | 0.2 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | LG | | Manufacturer Part Number | 150937 | | Media Speed | 8x | | Model Name | GP60 | | Model Number | 150937 | | Network Connectivity Technology | USB | | Operating System | Windows 11 | | Optical Storage Read Speed | 8x | | Optical Storage Write Speed | 8x | | Optical storage read speed | 8x | | Optical storage write speed | 8x | | Product Features | Portable | | Product Warranty | 24 months | | Special feature | Portable | | Specific Uses For Product | Playing media on laptops, PCs, or digital photo frames, reading and writing DVDs including M-Discs, portable use, home, office, or travel | ## Product Details - **Brand:** LG - **Hardware interface:** USB 2.0 - **Optical storage read speed:** 8x - **Optical storage write speed:** 8x - **Special feature:** Portable ## Images ![Hitachi-LG GP60 External DVD Drive, Slim Portable DVD Burner/Writer/Player for Laptop, Windows and Mac OS Compatible, USB 2.0, 8x Read/Write Speed - White - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71smQl+iCpL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works. *by J***M on 21 February 2026* It works, which is all that matters really. My only gripe is the cables for these things are always way too short for use on a desktop PC. I had to buy a longer cable to go with this. It's not a bad little external DVD drive, windows 11 detected itimmediately, so it was no hassle to get working. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works as described *by M***Y on 16 April 2026* I’ve tested this on windows, both with the included software, which works fine. I also tried it with VLC media player which I personally prefer. It worked perfectly. It’s compact, gets power directly from the USB (Type-A) port, so there’s only one cable to keep track of and so far it has worked perfectly. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent device - shame about the instructions (edited) *by F***L on 24 December 2020* I bought this DVD re-writer to replace another device I could not get to work on my PC. it came nicely packaged, with a CD - which I thought was the driver disk. it just works, and is a great device. I have a few minor negative points - see below for more info. there are very few instructions for this device, so I thought this was be on the CD with the drivers. this is wrong! What you actually get are a few Cyberlink products (including DVD player, CD Label Printer, Media Viewer and players etc). you also receive a "driver watcher" of some description. Now on to a couple of things to explain my rating: 1: the CD does not seem to contain an actual CD driver of any description. So despite running the latest version of windows 10, my computer thinks the Windows default driver from 2006 is the best available. 2: there is a piece of software which gets installed which is some type of "device driver watcher" and the idea is, as much as I can tell, if there is a more current driver version available you would have the choice of downloading and installing. My comment on this is: if the computer is happy with a 15 year old driver and the thing works, I'm not sure 2021 is going to provide anything more current or useful... 3: As mentioned there is very little in the way of the instructions. during the install you get asked what you want to place on your computer, with no real idea of what the software actually is. Although not necessarily "Bloatware" - for me the DVD software is useful and very much a welcome addition, a lot of the other stuff I can't see a use for, although the backup software will be handy - I just need some blank DVDs to put stuff on to. 4: the box suggests you can plug the drive into a TV Directly. I did this onto my LG TV via the USB port. the drive powers up etc, however the TV does not see the device. I tried this with a DVD and audio CD. it's a shame because this would have been a bonus for me and happy for holidays when travelling away etc. 5: Noise. although the device is relatively quiet for the most part, it does get up some speed and can be quite noisy on occasion. In Summary: if you need a CD/DVD Rewriter then this is a great one to use, and certainly worth the extra few pounds over a "non-brand" device. If you need some media and backup software in a hurry (especially DVD player software), again this could be the device for you. I already have a lot of Cyberlink (and other media) stuff so some of this software is not likely to be used. it worked straight away. it comes in three colours (I went for white, black and grey were the other two available) there are no real instructions on what you are installing or why you need to. you could get away with not adding anything additional after plugging the drive in, if you have media players, good backup software etc. EDIT: removed comment about type of DVD-R and CD-R types you can use; it's quite clear in the description you can use all types (eg DVD +R and DVD -R). Also added reference to noise levels. ## Frequently Bought Together - LG Hitachi GP60 External DVD Drive, Slim Portable DVD Burner/Writer/Player for Laptop, Windows and Mac OS Compatible, USB 2.0, 8X Read/Write Speed - White - Verbatim DVD+R DL Double Layer 8.5GB 8X LifeSeries - 25pk Spindle 71122 - Verbatim DVD-R Blank Discs AZO Dye 4.7GB 16X Recordable Disc - 50 Pack Spindle,Silver --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/58536468-hitachi-lg-gp60-external-dvd-drive-slim-portable-dvd-burner](https://www.desertcart.us/products/58536468-hitachi-lg-gp60-external-dvd-drive-slim-portable-dvd-burner) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
