Review: Works with M5 Macs... - Purchased the drive to rip CD collection. I purchased a Mini USB to USBC data cable at the same time, the supplied cable is mini USB to USBA. Using an 2026 M5 MacBook Air, plugged the drive in and MacOS promoted to allow the drive, once authorised, it connected without issue. Despite a number of reviews I read stating that the USBC ports on the latest silicon Macs were not able to power external drives, in this case, that was incorrect Using XLD software I was ripping Flac files to a local NAS in under a minute. I can also highly recommend XLD for MacOS...it's straightforward to configure and is simple in operation. Suggest that if you are a first time user that you do some research on file structure config and rip settings etc. Great bit of open source software. I spent an inordinate amount of time ahead of purchase looking for a decent 'pro' level drive as I am wanting to digitise a substantial CD collection for the best quality archive and playback. Various AI LLM's kept pointing me back to this LG as the best balance between value and quality. I would have honestly paid more for a highly regarded device like those from Pioneer; these types of high quality drives were discontinued a long time ago - I would love to justify spending £1000+ on a used drive imported from Japan! Time will tell if the LG holds up to extensive use. The drive appears to be well built and has an acceptable (to me) level of noise in operation, it's pretty quiet considering what it does. I have given it five stars based on first impressions (my expectations were pretty low) of acceptable build quality and it's function. Review: A fine drive - The drive works fine and is fairly quiet. The cable is Mini USB to USB A which is an old standard and might affect how you manage cables. It is best kept flat on a desk to support the tray as the disk clips are quite tight and the tray feels quite flimsy ## 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 | B01G33IRYS | | Best Sellers Rank | 4,374 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 16 in External CD & DVD Drives | | Box Contents | lead | | Brand | Hitachi | | Brand Name | Hitachi | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 1 | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Laptop, PC, Television | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Package Type | Box | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 3,033 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 1385 Megabits Per Second | | Enclosure Material | Polycarbonat (PC) | | Form Factor | slim | | Global Trade Identification Number | 08806087302905 | | 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 | 14.1L x 13.7W x 1.4H centimetres | | Item Weight | 0.2 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | LG | | Manufacturer Part Number | 150465 | | Media Speed | 24, 8 | | Model Name | GP60NB60 | | Model Number | 150465 | | Network Connectivity Technology | Memory Card Slot, USB | | Operating System | Windows 11 | | Optical Storage Read Speed | 24, 8 | | Optical Storage Write Speed | 8x | | Optical storage read speed | 24, 8 | | Optical storage write speed | 8x | | Product Features | Portable | | Product Warranty | 24 months | | Read Speed | 11 Megabytes Per Second | | Special feature | Portable | | Specific Uses For Product | Watch movies and burn DVDs on laptops and computers | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Special feature:** Portable - **Hardware interface:** USB 2.0 - **Brand:** Hitachi - **Optical storage write speed:** 8x DVD - **Optical storage read speed:** 8 x DVD ## 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 - Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81KmZO-gVuL.jpg) ![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 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/816xne33N8L.jpg) ![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 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Xbu6oYlQL.jpg) ![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 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1tVGg1zi5L.jpg) ![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 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Clap2FSbL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works with M5 Macs... *by D***A on 28 June 2026* Purchased the drive to rip CD collection.

The cable is Mini USB to USB A which is an old standard and might affect how you manage cables. It is best kept flat on a desk to support the tray as the disk clips are quite tight and the tray feels quite flimsy ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works perfectly as described, Windows 11 *by A***R on 20 May 2026* Use this to rip all my old CDs, works great and the read speed was good for my needs. Been using it for a while now and not had any issues. Not all that quiet, but doesn't need to be in my opinion. Easy plug and play on Windows 11. ## Frequently Bought Together - 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 - Philips DVD-R DM4S6B10F/00 - blank DVDs (4.7 GB, DVD-R, 120 min, 16x) - Philips CR7D5 NB10/00 CD-R Blank Discs 80 Min 52x 700MB 10er Spindel --- ## 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.gr/products/52467579-hitachi-lg-gp60-external-dvd-drive-slim-portable-dvd-burner](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/52467579-hitachi-lg-gp60-external-dvd-drive-slim-portable-dvd-burner) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-07-27*
