+Zagadka Subscriber² Posted February 23, 2018 Subscriber² Share Posted February 23, 2018 So I ditched the optical drive many moons ago. But there are some things from my DVD collection not available. So I'm looking for an external USB 3 drive. It would be nice to play Blu-Ray, but not necessary. Budget is kinda a concern, $50-75 sounds right. Don't really care about writing capabilities. Most of the reviews I've seen are mixed, so I'm hoping to have some informed feedback. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc302 Veteran Posted February 23, 2018 Veteran Share Posted February 23, 2018 I bought this a year a go...pretty decent unit https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OD39P6A/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 don't expect any external to be lightening fast.
