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

Bought this to burn a Video file for a project to play a DVD on an old system. Drive worked brilliantly out the box when plugged into Windows 11 laptop. Wrote to both DVD R and DVD RW with no issues whatsoever. Plays Audio CD and DVD quietly and I must say I am impressed by the quality of the price. I know there are cheaper models that have additional port functionality, but for my purpose I wanted to buy once and get quality, which this neat compact drive delivers each time.

I purchased this DVD writer on the advice of a film graduate to future proof the old dvd's I made with my camcorder. It is slim, lightweight and portable. It comes with an information DVD, which I haven't even looked at because it has been so easy to use! I have a macbook pro and already have a USB converter so installation was very easy. When loading my home dvd's the dvd driver takes a while, its is very noisy but I think this is more to do with the old dvd's rather than the product. It is a little slow with the pictures and the sound comes through first. If transfer the files straight to my external hard drive I am able to watch them perfectly from there. It plays the minidiscs direct from my camcorder, but I haven't worked out if I am able to transfer the files straight to external hard drive, or if I'll have to burn onto a dvd first. When playing a dvd of a film (not camcorder dvd) the noise is not a problem, the picture and sound are in sync. It skips forward/backwards well and pauses fine. The region is set to region 2 and this is easy to change. As a bonus, I am also able to load CD's of old photographs and copy these to external hard drive. This is a great little product, it does everything it is designed to and more! It is very well priced, it does what I wanted it to do and more. I am really happy to be able to future proof old memories.

Only 2 slight drawbacks, one being that it is usb 2.0 rather than 3.0 and the other being that it can be quite noisy. Otherwise, solid build quality and it works well. Haven’t used the included software enough yet to really comment on that.

Works straight out of the box. Pre-loaded with various PDFs and also Cyberlink Media Suite; however, no instructions as to how to install the software even if I wanted it which I don't. Could not quite read a 2004 DVD burned by a mate. Plays music CDs OK.

Excellent piece of kit, well worth the money.

Very quick, smooth, quiet and responds immediately to the computer.

I bought this DVD player to play some family DVD's which I had made some time ago. Transferred from old Videos. Some would not play on my DVD player on my new TV so my son suggested this. they played on it. So happy with that.

I purchased this item based on its reviews but obviously did not read enough of them!! Item rips fine and quickly - fires cds out like a clay pigeon trap!! No issues with funtionality either however - when ripping the machine is very noisy and vibrates strongly - I have put blu tack on feet and wedges underneath + a stoneware jar on top just to quieten it down when ripping - thats how bad it is. Seems to me the tray is not a very precise fit and possibly the top is not flat. A little disappointing to be honest as I spent ages reading reviews and spent a little extra on this one. Back to Liteon for me.

Excellent lecteur DVD , lit à peu près tout le DVD est silencieux. Je le conseille , Car auparavant j'avais acheté un autre lecteur DVD sur Amazon et celui là Refusait de lire la plupart des DVD , C'était une catastrophe. Mieux vaut acheter celui là qui coûte 4 à 5€ de plus mais est parfait.

Endlich mal ein CD-Laufwerk, das tut, was es soll. Bin zufrieden. Kostete zwar mehr, aber die anderen haben entweder nicht funktioniert oder gingen nach kurzer Zeit kaputt.

Szybko i sprawnie. Działa perfekcyjnie.

I like the LG Portable Slim DVD-RW Burner, it is sleek looking, smooth operation, the only downside if you can call that is it took weeks to receive it if you want to have free delivery, otherwise, it's good value.
