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 - Black

Brilliant fantastic product would highly recommend

Item arrived quickly but it was sent in the original box with no protection. I was immediately annoyed because it just happens this is for me but imagine if I wanted to give this as a present to someone. Box is completely battered from the postage and travel.It comes with a cyberlink suite disc but I've not used it as I have my own DVD CD burner software. The device worked straight from the box and is very light weight with a decent connector cable. It's looks slimmer than other devices I had before.I connected to my HP envy laptop with windows 11 and it worked immediately. At the time of writing this review I managed to write 8 music CDs of my own production and it's taken less than 20 minutes.The instructions are useless but with a bit of intuition we can get around any issues.The device doesn't say anywhere that it's a DVD CD writer so I'm going to have to stick a label.The box states it can connect to a TV and be used as a DVD player but that is not true. My TV wouldn't even recognise it.So far it's working ok and it's not damaged any CD like the other burner I was using before.It not very noisy but it's makes a noticeable fan noise which is typical to CD burners.I'll update when I use the cyberlink media suite that comes with it and when I try to burn DVDs too.

I've just bought a lovely gaming PC but it never crossed my mind that they don't tend to come with CD/DVD drives anymore. This would be a problem as I like to import my CDs into iTunes so I purchased this drive for what was a low price from a reliable brand. It plugs it via a standard USB (no need for additional power) and works effectively and in relative silence. When not in use, I simply put it into storage. Does a great job and much easier (and cleaner on the looks) than putting a drive into my actual gaming PC.

Simple to set up and use. Works a treat every time. If you don’t have avcd drive then buy this. I use it a lot for recording and writing.

Such a versatile device - have bought these for multiple friends/family as it 'just works'. I use it myself mainly for archiving cds, software and as a collector of old computers, I can confirm it works with XP, Vista and Windows 7 machines, where I use it over the inbuilt and often 'tired' drives these devices come with. Price is also a big plus.

Works well, can't expect much more for the price. Quite loud despite the "silent running" claim but I didn't buy it for that.

3rd time lucky trying to find a device to play a cd with important documents stored. Tried two others before this and they just wouldn't work. It comes with a disc but didnt need this, i just plugged it in and it worked

Not as fast as my old mains powered cd writer but takes up less space and is very portable.
