    [SOLVED] External DVD optical drive recommendations

    I'm looking to replace my laptop with a new one. Since newer laptops don't come with optical drives anymore, I was wondering what you'd recommend.

    Question 10.1" Barnes & Noble NOOK Tablet MicroSD Cards Keep Getting Corrupt. What Do I Do About The Corrupt Cards?

    I will try that when I get the chance. I still don't understand why this particular tablet cannot use those types of cards, or exactly what corrupted them. She's looking into returning the tablet and buying a more expensive one. She does love the NOOK tablets, though.

    Question 10.1" Barnes & Noble NOOK Tablet MicroSD Cards Keep Getting Corrupt. What Do I Do About The Corrupt Cards?

    I tried to access the cards on an old computer (that does support the SDXC standard). The 256GB did nothing, while the 128GB connected, but there was no way to access it. The 128GB card was in my mom's old NOOK and worked fine. The 256GB was from my old cell phone, so I can't really return them...
