External disc drive for laptop PC games

Posted 9th Mar 2023

Hi hotukdealers

I'm looking for an external disc drive for PC game discs to run (and possibly CDs and DVDs)

Can anyone please offer some suggestions. Nothing too expensive, £30 or less - would something like this do the job?

Thank you in advance for any helpful comments

Should do - you can get branded ones for under £30 on Amazon as well.

Ideally if you have a laptop with USB 3, look for one that's a USB 3 device, rather than a USB 2 one. And also understand the drive will probably be noisier than an internal drive.

DVDs were slow, you don't need anything more than USB2 for transfer speeds - certainly not for this sort of slimline drive where the spin speeds are fairly low. It may not even hit a third of the speeds USB2 is capable of.

We've always just got the ebay ones for under a tenner and never had an issue.

Get one from CEX as they still have 2 year warranty and you'll save some pennies (and also not add to e-waste by buying pre-owned)

Would you please be able to recommend some by linking to ones you would personally buy from CeX? I ordered from HP in the end, but could always cancel the order or return if it's too late thank you
