Looks like the usual drives will be fine. There will be folk that will overpay for units that are "on the list."
But why would we need this? It's not like we could install software from such.

What external DVD drives are compatible with RT ?
Discussion is locked
Sorry but my prior reply was off target.
Here's the problems you face.
1. There's no DVD or Blu-Ray playback codecs/capabilities included with Windows 8 RT, and (currently) no add-on ones.
2. You can't install software, drivers or such from said drive.
Hope you are getting the message fast that RT may stand for Restricted Tablet.
