NC10 CD & DVD Drives

Thank god they didn’t include a CD drive with the NC10: You’d be dragging an extra 600g around everywhere with you, just for the 1 time every few weeks you need it.
Having said that… when you do need an external CD drive, there are some decent options available. Here’s a selection of the cheapest external CD, DVD and DVD-RW drives around for the NC10:
CD-ROM Drives
If you just need to install software and turn your CDs into MP3s, these drives are simplest and cheapest.
CD-RW/DVD Drives
These drives let you read DVDs & CDs. They also let you burn CDs yourself – great if you need to transfer stuff to & from your NC10.
- Black External USB CD-RW/DVD Drive – £39.99
- A Cheaper Black External USB CD-RW/DVD Drive – £35 inc shipping!
- White External USB CD-RW/DVD Drive – £34.99
DVD RW Drives
Read & Write DVDs, and read & write CDs too. If you want a totally flexible drive for reading & writing DVDs, go for one of these. As they only cost a few pounds more than CD-RW/DVD drives (if that) these are your best bet if you’re not sure what you’ll need.
There you have it – the complete selection of slimline black/white external drives for your Samsung NC10.

I wonder why you recommend the Qubz drive. I searched on the web for information about it without success.

Any recommendations on DVD playback software that works with the NC10. I tried Cool DVD player without success.

The Qubz drives now come in pink and blue as well as black and white see http://www.qubz.co.uk As for DVD playback software I find on any Windows based netbook using K-lite codec pack with Windows media player is usually a good option.
