I want to buy an external DVD burner to attach to my new iMac. Any suggestions for the best, most reliable one? After reading about numerous problems people are having with the internal one and experiencing a failure after only 15 minutes of play, I don't want to mess with the internal one. It said my DVD was either dirty or scratched. It is as pristeen as when I burned it and doesn't have so much as a fingerprint on it. It plays in all my other DVD players just fine. I figured the player would be a problem considering CD's and DVD's come out just as hot as if they had been in a toaster I don't mind buying a new external burner and I don't want to take my iMac back because I am happy with the 24' monitor, it looks great.

So what are your suggestions for the best one?
Dell really managed to surprise the users with the DW316 slim external DVD R/W drive. First of all, you will notice the simple but at the same time very graceful design of the drive. The upper part has a glossy black coating with a noticeable company logo in the center. You should just press the button and the disc tray pops out. Remember that the drive can only be used horizontally.
This model offers both reading and burning for your CDs and DVDs at a fairly high speed. The DSB is 0.75 MB, so you will have quick access to all your information on the medium.
To work with disks, you can use the pre-loaded CyberLink Media Suite or install additional software. This external DVD drive is compact (only 0.6 inches thick) and quite lightweight (0.44 pounds).
Thanks to that, you can use it both at home and on the go, especially taking into account the fact that the Dell DW316 is ready to work right out of the box.
