Other extras: All the drives we tested came with one-year warranties and claimed to support the archival M-DISC format, though we didnвЂ™t test those claims.But if a drive comes with decent playback and burning software, thatвЂ™s a plus.

Free (but potentially illegal) solutions are available for all of those problems, which we cover in the Playing DVDs and Blu-rays section.

But macOS canвЂ™t play Blu-rays without extra software, Windows 10 canвЂ™t play Blu-rays or DVDs, and neither operating system includes software for burning video discs that you can play in DVD or Blu-ray players.

Usable software: Both Windows 10 and macOS offer tools for burning data to DVDs and Blu-ray discs, and macOS still includes a DVD player app for playing video discs.

Sturdiness: Few external disc drives are pretty, but the case shouldnвЂ™t fall apart under light pressure, the connections shouldnвЂ™t be wobbly, and the buttons should work when you press them.

Operating system support: All drives we tested were detected by Windows 10 and macOS 10.15 Catalina without our installing any additional software, and the operating systemsвЂ™ built-in disc reading and burning features worked without requiring any extra drivers or configuration.

Almost all of the cables included with drives we tested had USB Type-A connectors on the computerвЂ™s end, but the inclusion of a USB-C cable or a USB-AвЂ“toвЂ“C adapter in the box is a nice bonus. On the driveвЂ™s end, we prefer the still-common Micro-USB port, though the larger Mini-USB is fine too (optical drives with USB-C ports are rare to nonexistent).

Connector and cable: Drives should use standard detachable USB cables so that a frayed or broken cable doesnвЂ™t ruin the entire drive.

Noise: All optical drives make noise, but the drive shouldnвЂ™t drown out the movie or show youвЂ™re trying to watch.

Price: A good DVD drive shouldnвЂ™t cost more than $40, and a good Blu-ray drive should cost around $100.

But if youвЂ™re burning or ripping discs, the rate at which a drive can move data from your computerвЂ™s hard drive to the disc or vice versa becomes more important. Speed: If all youвЂ™ll use your drive for is playing discs, just about any drive you buy will perform similarly.

We didnвЂ™t require Blu-ray drives to support reading and writing to Ultra HD (or UHD, or 4K) Blu-ray discs, but we considered it a nice bonus if you didnвЂ™t have to pay much more for that feature. Read and write capability: DVD drives must read and write DVDs and CDs, and Blu-ray drives must read and write Blu-rays, DVDs, and CDs.No? That stalled everything for me that day till I got it copied to usb drive and the original problem remains the same even now.
