The short answer is yes, you can use an external USB CD/DVD drive with a Chromebook, but there are some major limitations to using a Chromebook with an external DVD or CD drive. External devices are limited to storage of readable files. Chromebooks can read files on CD, CD-RW, DVD and DVD-RW discs if they are supported file formats. This means you can easily open image or audio files in ChromeOS from files on a CD or DVD. However,Chromebooks do not have the necessary codecs to plays DVD files. You can connect a CD or DVD player on a Chromebook and use it read read data files if you have a disk written in data format. You cannot play an audio CD or a movie on a DVD and you cannot write anything to a CD, DVD or Blu-ray disk. Chrome OS does not support optical disks to let you play music or movies. The primary reason for this is that Chrome OS doesn’t come with codecs. Codecs are necessary to compress and decompress large files like DVD videos. External DVD drives aren’t officially supported on Chrome OS...^IFV
