I just got a new Dell Latitude laptop with Windows 10 which does not have an optical drive so I am in the market for an external one and need some help with my purchase.
What should I look for in an external drive? I have a large CD collection that I want to rip and store on the hard drive so I want something that will do the job quickly and easily. I also want the ability to burn CD's. I would like something that is plug and play as I am not that computer savvy and do not want a device that that requires a lot of software downloads. Also should I restrict my search to USB 3 because it is faster?
Amazon has literally dozens of these priced from $20 to $100. The specifications on most are pretty technical so I could use some help.Any suggestions on a good reasonably priced one would be appreciated.
Thanks!
