I haven't used any myself in a long time, but these all have decent enough reviews:

Searching on "external USB DVD drive":

Amazon.com: Samsung Electronics Ultra-Slim Optical Drives SE-218GN/RSBD: Electronics

Good choice?

Looks fine. Samsung generally makes good products.

And there are a lot of negative reports about downloading the programs, versus loading them with disks.

Are disks becoming completely outdated?

There's still a lot of options with CD Drives (Lenovo included). But, yes, CDs are a thing of the 80s and 90s.
