External DVD drives

[Marc]

Looking for an external drive so I can play DVDs o a Macbook Air. There are quite a few available on Amazon at varying prices, anyone got any recommendations?

Had a Samsung for a few years, nicely made and no problems with it, think it was around £35.

get one from an old laptop and buy a caddy for a few quid?
