Need recommendations on external USB DVD drive

[techfuzz]

I'm looking at getting an external USB DVD drive for us here at work, anyone got any recommendations? It has to be external and USB connectable. We'd like to get one with the fastest DVD read times. Gimme some model numbers of some good ones. Thanks!

I would probably go with a separate dvd drive and enclosure. It may be slightly more expensive, but it gives you more flexibility and you can use a Lite-On 166 drive which IMO is one of the better drives. Newegg sells both 5 1/4" enclosures and the Lite-On 166.
