Hi,
I’m seeking advice on long-lasting external DVD drives. I’ve experienced two failures in under two years, so I need something reliable. I’d like options with at least a 5-year warranty to ensure confidence in durability. Additionally, I prefer designs that don’t require clamping the disc on the spindle—either a carriage system or a slot mechanism that automatically pulls the disc in.

I haven't encountered a center mount holder inside the PC's external or internal drives since the carousel CD players. For the insert in the slot, I refer to them as CD scratchers. I'm not very familiar with computers today, so a five-year warranty from manufacturing isn't something I expect, especially for small devices. The Asus Blu-Ray external writer appears to be solid and should last beyond the warranty, though usage still plays a role.
