Product Info

The LG GP60NB60.AUAE12B has been on the market since the early 2020s, positioning itself as an affordable entry-to-mid-range portable optical drive. Typical retail price in Japan is around ¥7,000–¥8,000. It comes with a USB cable (~50cm) and a quick manual; no bundled burning software is included. Warranty is one year from LG. It's a perfect fit for users who need basic DVD/CD read/write capability without spending much—classic 'good enough' hardware for occasional use.

Best Use Cases

Owners of ultrabooks or tablets without optical drives：If you have a laptop without a built-in DVD drive, this drive lets you install old software, watch DVD movies, or create audio CDs. Just connect and go. People who want reliable long-term backups：M-DISC support makes the GP60NB60 a viable tool for archiving photos, documents, and other important data to media that claims 1000-year lifespan. Simply write your files to M-DISC DVDs and store them in a safe place. Casul DVD movie collectors：If you still buy phisical DVDs from stores, this drive can play them back on a PC with minimal noise thanks to its 'Silent Play' technology. It's also good for ripping your collection to digital files. Not for heavy daily burning：The USB 2.0 interface limits transfer speeds, and the tray-loading mechanism is less convenient for high-volume disc swaps. Pro users requiring fast burning should look for USB 3.0 or BDXL drives.
