YES you can buy any brand separately. I just bought an external DVD-ROM 2 weeks ago at Best Buy.Try to buy HP - 8x External USB 2.0 Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive Model: HPDVD550S SKU: 3447935 USB 2.0 interface; up to 8.5GB on DVD+R DL and DVD-R DL media; up to 8x DVD+R and DVD-R; 5x DVD-RAM; 24x24x24 CD-RW.

The regular price that time was $59.99 but it was on sale for $49.99. Now i just look at the web site. the price went down to $39.99. A huge savings.I rated the product for 5.0 for the Value of the Price. ease of use is 5.0.Performance  is 5.0 and Ease of Installation is also 5.00.Perfect! A 5 star rate!
