LG Hitachi-LG GUD1N | Ultra-Slim Internal DVD Rewriter

The LG Hitachi-LG GUD1N 6x DVD-RW Internal OEM Slim Optical Drive (9.5mm) delivers high-speed optical disc support in a compact 9.5mm height form factor. Designed for space-constrained builds, it offers reliable DVD±RW burning and M-Disc support for long-term data archiving.

Specification Overview

Ultra-Slim Design for Compact Builds

With a height of just 9.5mm, this internal drive fits seamlessly into ultrabooks, small-form-factor PCs, and media centre builds where space is at a premium. The tray-loading mechanism ensures smooth disc access without protruding from the chassis. Its black finish and internal mounting design make it ideal for discreet integration into modern systems.

High-Speed DVD and CD Performance

The GUD1N supports fast read speeds of 8x for DVDs and 24x for CDs, ensuring quick data access and media playback. Writing speeds reach up to 8x for DVD-R and 6x for DVD-RW, with CD-R and CD-RW burning at 24x. This makes it suitable for both everyday disc creation and archival tasks requiring reliable write performance.

M-Disc Support for Long-Term Archiving

This drive supports M-Disc technology, which uses a rock-like recording surface to protect data for centuries rather than years. For users who need to preserve critical files, photos, or videos with maximum longevity, M-Disc compatibility offers a proven archival solution that resists environmental degradation far better than standard optical media.

Wide Media Compatibility

The GUD1N handles a broad range of disc formats including CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R DL, DVD+RW, DVD-RAM, and standard DVD-ROM. This extensive support ensures compatibility with most optical media in use today, whether for burning, rewriting, or playback.
