Up for sale is a classic LG GH22NP20 internal optical drive, manufactured in July 2009. This is a highly sought-after legacy component utilizing the E-IDE (Parallel ATA) 40-pin interface, making it perfect for retro PC builders restoring vintage Windows 98, Me, 2000, or Windows XP gaming rigs.Condition Notes:

• Tested & Working: Pulled directly from a fully operational, working desktop machine.
• Excellent Cosmetic Shape: The metal casing is remarkably clean with completely pristine factory labels and safety markings. No rust, heavy oxidation, or deep scratches.
• Flawless Interface Pins: The rear 40-pin data grid features completely straight, unbent pins. The 4-pin Molex power receiver and master/slave jumper blocks are fully intact and clean.
• Intact Threads: Side mounting tracks are crisp and undamaged, built for standard metric M3 x 5 mounting screws.

Technical Highlights:

• Blazing fast 22x DVD±R write speeds (top-tier performance for the IDE generation)
• Full SecurDisc and Super Multi format compatibility (supports DVD-RAM and Dual Layer discs)
• Standard black bezel front plate to match dark-themed vintage PC tower builds

Please note: This is an older IDE/PATA drive that requires a 40-pin ribbon cable and Molex power connection. It will not plug directly into modern SATA-only motherboards without an adapter. Please verify your motherboard's compatibility before purchasing.C6
