External DVD Drive for Mac Mini/Windows

[daz1985]

Hi,

I am going to create a partition on my mac to install windows so that i can still use some software (like sage) and so i need to buy a dvd drive to be able to install windows and then the other software. rather than pay £65 for the offical apple superdrive can i order the below and achieve the same result? thanks

That'll work....I sprang for a few more bucks and got an external Samsung drive that also handles BluRay. Works great.

On Ebay you have 15£ Blu Ray USB external drives:

I'm very happy with it. I use the drive on Mini's, laptops or whatever needs an optical drive.
