• Internal vs External DVD Drive

Is there any considerable difference between an internal and external DVD drive? I'm currently building my first media server and I'm deciding on the case to get, and I'm curious whether I need one with a bay for an optical drive. Is there enough of a difference between the two to warrant getting a case that supports an internal optical drive or can I use my external one with little speed/quality loss?
I don't think there's any sort of loss. How often will you use it? Now and then? Just get a USB one.
Ive been using a USB dvd drive for 3 years now and don’t have any complaints with it. I actually have an internal burner but I don’t have enough SATA power cables but I haven’t bothered getting another since the usb drive is fine
