Yes, I wouldn't use cd's for data storage, I back up to a Time Machine, to the cloud, and also use usb sticks... but I do need cd burning capabilities and so that's why I was asking about a cd/DVD Drive. I would use the apple one, but there are mixed reports about it... and with all of them. I still use cd's for music (in addition to vinyl) and in fact I'm in the market for a new CD player, will probably get a transport and DAC.

A MacBook Air is indeed nice and light, but it feels weird not to have a cd drive in there, and I get music files from friends and from Bandcamp and I've been surprised by how badly I need a decent CD burner...

Lots of good advice, but to the original question... I have a samsung SE218 portable dvd writer. I use it sparingly, but it has connected fine, operated fine.
