Some of the other external super drive equivalents with tray-load can do well.
There had been reports of these being useful, because they can use other
shape media that won't work in the built-in slot loading DVD/CDRW player.
Brand names escape me, but ones such as LG and others had been mentioned.
Certain model Macs with built-in optical drives are more or less difficult to replace.

There are a few that may or may not require additional third-party software to use
for recording on media. ~ Note some from OWC macsales, external tray-loading
as these often include software. They also offer blue-ray, for those who need it.
Good luck & happy computing! 🙂
