Does anyone have any experiences of what works well, or not so well when buying an external CD / DVD drive for a Mac Mini? Mainly will be used for putting music into iTunes, and burning music back to CD's (rather than much DVD work).
Not really sure that the Apple one is necessary, so is it just a case of picking one for £20 off Amazon and it'll do the job fine?

Appreciate any thoughts.

When I got my iMac last year I bought a Samsung external BD writer (SE-506CB/RSWD) for the same price as the Apple USB SuperDrive. I've burnt a few DVDs but no Blu-ray disks so far.
