Pen Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I had an Amazonbasics one that I liked, but it has died. And it is no longer available. Does anyone have any to suggest? This is the unavailable one that I liked and would like to replace with something similar. http://www.amazon.com/amazonbasics-portable-external-optical-drive/dp/b003m0nt1m?tag=indifash06-20 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKim Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I have this one, but I only paid 47.00 for it back in 2010. Works great with my Mac mini, but the new price is pretty horrifying! http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-External-Optical-SE-S084C-RSBN/dp/B002C1BBU8?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=od_aui_detailpages00 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanny Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I don't have a MAC to confirm that it works on a MAC, but the box says that it does. We have a Samsung "Ultra Thin" DVD Writer. Portable DVD Writer. SE-218, I think I paid about USD$30 including shipping for it, last year. As I recall, there was a newer model that was a little less money, but the Reviews I read on Amazon for this one were better. According to the label on the back of the box with the bar codes, the Model is "SE-218GN/RSBD. I've only used it a few times, but there were no issues when I did use it. On one side the box says "Mac OS X (10.4.6.1), I don't understand why you would need something special (or expensive) to work with your MAC if it is a USB peripheral. GL with whatever you buy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
