Portable DVD Burner with USB Hub
The LG T037A is a new external optical drive that connects through a single cable offering both USB-A and USB-C interfaces. It reads and writes CD±R/RW, CD-ROM, DVD±R/RW and DVD-RAM media while also providing a built-in USB hub and SD card slot for additional peripherals. The unit is compatible with Windows 98 through Windows 11, Mac OS 10.6 or later and Linux systems.
Maximum 8× DVD Write Speed
The drive writes DVD±R media at up to 8× and CD media at up to 24×, which is the key figure for users who need to create discs quickly. Data transfers over the USB 3.0 link can reach 5 Gbps (625 MB/s), so the optical media remains the bottleneck rather than the interface. Buyers who require faster DVD recording or Blu-ray support should consider a different drive.
Integrated Hub and Card Reader
The bundled cable stores in the base and delivers both USB-A and USB-C plugs plus a separate power connector for stable operation. Once connected the drive adds one USB 3.0 port, one USB 2.0 port, one USB-C 2.0 port and an SD card slot, letting you attach a mouse, keyboard, external storage or transfer photos without extra dongles. No software installation is required on supported operating systems.

Questions about this item
What does the 8x DVD write speed mean for actual disc burning time?
The drive writes DVD±R at up to 8x speed, so a full single-layer disc takes about eight minutes under typical conditions.
What does the USB 3.0 Type-C interface cap at for data transfer?
The USB 3.0 link is rated at 5 Gbps, or 625 MB/s, which is the practical ceiling for disc reads and hub traffic.
What does the drive need to fit on a desk or in a bag?
It is a bare external drive with a built-in USB-A and USB-C cable stored underneath, so it sits flat and needs no separate power brick.
