DVD drives used to be an indispensable part of our lives, they were used to install games, watch movies, and everything in between. However, it is no secret that the technology is somewhat outdated; This is one of the main reasons why most modern computers no longer include a pre-installed DVD drive.

Although online downloads and USB flash drives are now more popular options, there are still many people who prefer to use DVD drives over more traditional options. Therefore, for these people, we have put together this list of the best external DVD drives that the market should offer.

Let's jump right in and see the top recommendations:

This DVD drive is slim, portable, inexpensive, and compatible with just about anything. Its low price combined with very small factors and a large number of positive reviews make it one of the best choices for those who need something "just right".

LG’s GP65NB60 offers an ultra-portable form factor and 8 times the DVD read/write speed at a price of less than $30. It is excellent value for money and can stand the test of time.

Buy

on Amazon With USB 2.0 speed and 3.0/3.1 compatibility, ASUS ZenDrive is another great value budget product from ASUS, at least worth a try.

ASUS ZenDrive provides everything you need as a normal user. Most DVDs have up to 8 times the read and write compatibility (24 times for CDs), are compatible with USB 2.0 and higher, and fully support Nero backup.

Buying Amazon

Pioneer products supports Blu-ray and the free Cyberlink software you purchased. A great choice for Blu-ray lovers!

Those who have a collection of Blu-ray discs or are willing to engage in such things should definitely consider investing in such a Blu-ray player. The price of Pioneer BDRXD05B may be a bit more expensive than a normal DVD drive, but this is a necessary sacrifice for the high-quality experience provided by Blu-ray.

Buy on Amazon The

Dell product is light and compact, while providing all the standard features you can get from an external USB DVD drive. It works well with Dell computers, but it should also work with most computers with USB 2.0 or 3.0.

Another excellent mid-range product from Dell, with 8x DVD and 24x CD reading speed! It looks particularly good with a Dell PC, but it also works with other brands!

Buy Amazon

Apple’s USB SuperDrive is designed for Macintosh computers and provides the build quality we expect from Apple. However, please note that it is not compatible with Blu-ray.

Apple is known for its closed ecosystem, which is very effective when you only use Apple devices. So, if you are a Mac user, it is hard for this software to make mistakes. Make sure you don't need Blu-ray before buying as it doesn't support it.

Buy Amazon

Choosing a good product requires a lot of knowledge, a lot of research and a lot of technical experience. Ordinary people can't go through all of this just to buy a good DVD drive.

Only a few have the experience, knowledge and time to research and test various products. Because we belong to that minority group, our products always undergo rigorous testing and must meet many standards in order to be considered the "best" in their field.

With this in mind, we believe that the products we recommend are both high-performance and value-for-money, including external DVD drives.

Most technical equipment is quite complex. We always choose many products for a reason, and each product has its own advantages and disadvantages. Compared to laptops, monitors, peripherals, and most other hardware products, the

External DVD Drive is definitely simpler. However, there are still a few things to consider when shopping. This is all you need to know.

The first thing to pay attention to is the type of DVD / CD that your DVD drive supports.

Most of our options are compatible with almost all standard elements. However, unfortunately, Blu-ray support is reserved for high-end options only.

So if you need Blu-ray support, you should specifically look for something that supports this technology.

Most external DVD drives are universal, which means you should be able to use them on almost all modern computers. Some older machines using USB 1.1 may not be compatible. But to be honest, if you are using something outdated, then you may need to worry about more than just DVD drive compatibility (software, hardware, other peripherals, etc.).

Having said that, please keep in mind that some drives may work better on certain computers. A popular example is the Apple USB SuperDrive, which is specifically designed for Mac. The reading and writing speed of

DVDs and CDs may vary for each DVD drive. 8x seems to be the standard for DVD, and 24x is the standard for CD. DVD

drives that support USB 3.0 tend to support higher speeds, but this does not necessarily mean that the drive is faster. In other words, in any case, USB 3.0 is backward compatible with USB 2.0. Therefore, choosing 3.0 does not feel like you have any losses (unless of course the option is more expensive).

Speaking of speed, this is one of the main reasons why DVD drives tend to be loud. Since you can’t test it yourself, if you’re worried about noise, try checking user reviews and YouTube videos on your device.

If you plan to move around with your laptop, then

You better avoid it.

Most external DVD drives use a USB cable. However, this is not always the case. Some of them may require two cables to provide additional power, while some laptops are only equipped with USB TypeC ports.

So, if your laptop only has a replacement USB and / or TypeC slot, make sure it can be used with the DVD drive of your choice before purchasing.

Last but not least, LG mentioned that Cyberlink is included as a bundle, and you can get M Disc support as well. In most cases, they are not necessary. But, technically, you can still get it for free, so why not?
