What external dvd drive do you recommend?

I am trying to find a cheap external dvd drive. I want it for the Sims PC game and wondering what type would suit the game.

Honestly, they all work the same. However, if this is a desktop, and you got room, buy an internal.

Go with whatever is cheapest. You don't need it for much unless you are using your pc to burn a lot of dvds. Here's a similar thread: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2169618/cheap-optical-drive-gaming.html

Edit: Sorry these are all internal, skimmed over your specification. I would go with internal as they are cheaper and if you have room in your case (which you should) it's probably the better option.
