That was close: The Asus ZenDrive SDRW-08U9M-U won this comparison test: It offered the highest speed, worked quietly and also looks stylish. The Gembird DVD-USB-03-BW external DVD burner is a little louder than the test winner when burning and playing back discs, but did not have any major weaknesses in the other tests.
