- DVD only or Blu-ray too?
- How important is small size and weight?
- External power supply, or USB port powered? Be aware some require connection to two USB ports to ensure enough power.
FWIW, I don't use portable BD/DVD drives, but newer laptops come without drives (the makers want you to use their cloud services) so they can be important. I prefer to use thumb drives (smaller size, more storage, and faster) when mobile and copy to optical or other media at my desktop if i need to do so.
There are lots of "Top Ten for 2019" sorts of reviews that can provide some additional information, but take reviews with a bit of skepticism.
