Does it matter which external optical drive I buy?
#12
I picked up a cheap LG external DVD burner for $20. Works fine on my new iMac and only needs one port. I tried the Apple USB Superdrive first but it failed out of the box.

It has a tray but when using it in the desk, the tray is supported when ejected. So, even though it is a laptop drive, it is fairly easy to snap the disc into place. It works with Yosemite just fine. The only issue is having to do a manual eject of the drive tray when no disc is present. Other than that, hitting eject in the OS kicks the tray out.
