Lenovo ThinkPad UltraSlim USB DVD Burner

The Lenovo 4XA0E97775 is an external optical drive that brings full DVD and CD reading and writing capability to any Windows computer with a standard USB-A port. Its slim profile slides easily into a laptop bag or desk drawer, letting you keep optical media support on hand without adding bulk.

Through the USB-A 3.0 interface and included Y cable, the drive draws power directly from the computer, so there is no need for a separate adapter. It reads CDs at up to 24x and DVDs at up to 8x, and it matches those speeds when writing. Support extends to CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD+R, dual-layer discs, and rewritable formats. A 0.75 MB buffer helps prevent interruptions during burns, and the bundled PowerDVD software provides an easy path for movie playback and simple video creation.

The burner is a practical tool for anyone who still relies on physical media. IT staff can install legacy applications, educators can distribute course materials, and travelers can watch DVDs without streaming. Photographers and home users who value long-term archives can back up files to disc, while small offices can maintain records or create presentation DVDs without investing in a larger desktop drive.
