You are looking for two features:


  1. DVD drive that has a USB-C cable to directly plug into your Mac
    1. If only a USB-A cable, then you need a USB-C to USB-A adapter either from Apple, or what I use.
  2. A device whose vendor shows that it is compatible with macOS Monterey, and not exclusively MS Windows
    1. Availability of recent firmware updates installable from macOS as indicative of this capability
