    I am looking to buy an Aspire One 10.1" netbook and would like to get a good protable/slim USB DVD drive to use with it. Can anyone recommend a good one, and preferably one that doesn't cost more than the netbook itself?

    Also, I'd like to know if there is one that also have blue ray.

    Thanks!

    It may well be cheaper and better to buy an external enclosure and then your own drive.

    LG has good one. They're not the cheapest though.
