external drive for mac mini

my 2010 mac mini optical drive has become persnickety in reading discs.it seems to be time to move to an external optical drive for rip, burn and play.i assume that the connection to the mini would be via usb.i am requesting recommendations. as to price. i am willing to go to $200, but a rock solid drive at $100, would be great.

thanks for your help

My Mac Mini internal DVD drive needs laser cleaning about once a year. 10 seconds job with cleaning CD and no problems for a year. You can also replace internal drive.

External "rock solid drive" might use exactly the same (or not better) drive inside.
