DVD drives are becoming harder to find every year. Laptops are becoming thinner and most of them have completely dropped DVD burners. Especially the ultrabooks, where companies are also trying to keep the costs low. But DVD’s are far from dead. In order to still use them, companies have created external optical drives that can be connected to your device via USB. The best external DVD drives are slim and really easy to use. There is almost no difference between a built in and external!

It doesn’t matter if you have a Windows or Mac, the external drives work with every operating system. I recently built my PC and I noticed that even the newer cases don’t have slots for a DVD drive. The world is definitely moving towards cloud storage and USB drives. But plenty of software and even games are still released on discs. Plus downloading from the internet takes up extra space. Or maybe you have a DVD collection you’d still like to be able to watch. USB connected drives are capable of solving all these problems.

1. LG Electronics GP65NB60

LG Electronics is a South Korean electronics company. They are most known for their fantastic TV’s but also home appliances and even mobile phones. They also make smaller electronic devices, such as optical drives. Their GP65NB60 is Amazons best selling external DVD drive! It is also one of the top rated ones and for a good reason.

The LG GP65NB60 has an Ultra-Slim design. It has a dimension of 141×14×136.5 mm / 5.6×0.6×5.4″ and weighs only 200 g / 0.4 lbs. The design is super sleek, it’s fully made out of nice tough plastic and you can choose between 4 different colors: black, gold, silver and white. It also has some nice structured edges. The slim design means that you can literally place it anywhere you want. Plus it’s convenient to carry it around as it doesn’t take up any space. It’s basically as thick as a pencil. It also has a button on the front for ejecting the disc tray. There is also a LED light next to it that indicates if the drive is reading your discs. The back of the drive has a MiniUSB port. The drive comes with a MiniUSB-USB2.0 cable.

Another reason why the LG Electronics GP65NB60 is the best, is because of how easy it is to use it. Just plug the drive into your laptop, PC or TV via the USB cable. And can also be used on a TV. So you can use it to watch DVD’s straight from your TV. That’s a feature that not all external DVD drives have. LG has also got a feature called Silent Play technology. It reduces noise during playback by recognizing the media type and adjusting the speed for optimal performance. And even when comparing it to other external optical drives, it’s really quiet.

2. Samsung SE-218GN

Samsung is another South Korean electronics company that is most known for their mobile phones. They have also got one of the best external drives for DVD discs, which isn’t that surprising as they also make some of the best SSD drives.

With the dimension of 147×14×141 mm / 5.8×0.6×5.6″, the Samsung SE-218 is pretty much as slim as an optical drive can be. The drive has a black plastic case, which is made out of good quality materials as it looks pretty good and feels high-end. This is definitely the plus of Samsung products. It is also really well built so it can also handle travelling. Making it also a nice little portable drive.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Dimensions: 147×14×141 mm / 5.8×0.6×5.6″
DVD Writing Speed: Up to 6x DVD+RW
CD Writing Speed: Up to 24x CD-RW
Features: MiniUSB to USB cable, Nero Express software
Compatibility: Windows and Mac operating systems

The SE-218GN has also got a button on the front which is used to eject the drive tray. It only works when the drive is plugged in with the MiniUSB cable. There is also a tiny manual eject hole which can be used if you left a disc into your drive. You’ll have to use a needle or a paper clip to reach the button inside the hole. The external DVD drive has also got a MiniUSB port on the back which is used for connecting it to your laptop or PC.

The Samsung SE-218GN CD/DVD drive doesn’t require any setting up. All you have to do is connect it to your PC or Laptop with the MiniUSB-USB2.0 cable that comes with it. You can also use the drive to burn files onto DVD discs. The writing speed of dual-layer DVD’s is up to 6x and for CD’s up to 24x. This is definitely pretty basic and nothing special. You also get a copy of Nero Essentials 10.0 with the drive. It includes the Nero Express burning software, Nero Backup and Nero InCD. Also the drive does work with both Windows and Mac. I have also read that it has worked with some Android tablets as well, but I haven’t been able to test that out myself.

3. Dell DW316

Dell is an American company that is most known for their computers and desktop screens. Especially for their business solutions for both private and public companies. Dell is also one of those companies that has dropped DVD drives from their cheaper end laptops and ultrabooks. So it’s no surprise that they have also released an external drive for DVD's and CD's. Which is also in my opinion one of the best available!

The DW316 external DVD drive has a pretty standard Dell design. If you are familiar with Dell laptops then you’ll know what I mean by that. It’s body is fully made out of high quality plastic. It also comes in one color: black. Like most other highly rated optical drives, the DW316 has also got an Ultra-Slim design. That makes it possible to take anywhere you want without having to take an extra bag. It has a dimension of 144.7×136.5×14 mm / 5.7×5.4×0.6″. Another thing that I quite like about it’s design is the curved corners. They make the optical drive’s design more interesting and sleek.

The Dell DW316 is a plug and play device. As in you don’t need to install any external software or go through a crazy setup process to use the drive. Just plug it into your PC or laptop with the USB cable and that’s it. The drive also comes with a pre-loaded CyberLink Media Suit software. It’s pretty useful for burning files onto discs. It has a writing speed of up to 8x for DVD’s and 24x for CD’s. So it’s as fast as LG GP65NB60. Both of them are pretty similar in terms of the performance. The only difference is the design and the LG is a bit more quiet. So eventually it comes down
