Why don't you buy a DVD-ROM drive? It also reads CD's. I would advise you to buy the JLMS (aka LiteOn) XJ-HD166S or the LiteON 52x CD-ROM drive. Samsung drives are not that good.

If you don't mind to have a noisy drive, get the Asus 52x CD-ROM drive. If you want a good and cheap drive try to buy the LiteOn 52x drive.
