1. Verbatim Slimline
Optical discs are among the most reliable media for archiving your data. Unfortunately, many laptop manufacturers choose to omit optical drives in favor of slimmer designs. Verbatim offers a solution with the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray burner. Use it to create backup copies of important files you don’t want to lose, such as family photos, videos, and accounting documents.
Watch your 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray discs with this external Blu-ray player. It is barely larger than a Blu-ray disc itself and is powered via USB, so it doesn’t require an additional power adapter, making it easy to transport.
The included award-winning Nero Burn and Archive software offers numerous special features such as DiscSpan, MediaHome, and SecureDisc technology to help you organize, burn, and archive your important files. Various streaming options, including the Nero Streaming Player app, allow you to view your movies, photos, slideshows, and other media on devices like smartphones, tablets, and smart TVs. You can even add password protection for extra security and an electronic signature to mark copyright.
Burn a standard DVD at 8x speed, a single-layer and double-layer Blu-ray disc at 6x, and a BDXL disc at 4x. The 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray burner supports buffer underrun protection to avoid issues during the recording process.
The Blu-ray burner is designed to be energy-efficient and supports Zero Power ODD (Optical Disc Drive), which reduces the power consumption of the optical drive in the operating system to zero when the drive is not in use.
Note: The software player for playing DVD/Blu-ray movies is not included.

5. Hitachi-LG Data Storage BP55EB40
All LG drives support Millenniata discs, which only resemble their DVD counterparts in shape. Due to the material connection of the disc and the associated burning of data, moisture and high temperatures cannot affect data readability.
This technology addresses one of the most obvious drive issues: the often high noise levels. Silent Play ensures quiet playback, allowing for an uninterrupted music or movie experience.
Jamless Play prevents skips and stutters during disc playback. These issues are often caused by scratches or fingerprints and can be easily skipped thanks to the special playback function.
Compatible with Windows OS.
