External USB DVD drive

I have an LG DVD ROM drive that plugs into a USB port. When I plug it into my X5000 I get a message that (my interpretation) there was on overload on the usb port and it was shut down (to prevent damage?) Since my X5000 doesn't have any internal drive bays, it would be nice to be able to hook up an external DVD drive when I need one. I wonder if anyone knows what is happening and can recommend a DVD read/write drive that is safe to use and works with an AmigaOne.

I figured it was the devil doing it. Is there some Amiga guru who can bless the drive? I'll pay postage.
