Anyone here still got an optical drive in your pc?

[Tralalero Tralala]

I wanna know how many of us here are still left standing

[N3tRunn3r]

I havent used a Desktop PC for many years. But I own an external 40 EUR CD/DVD ROM drive for my Laptop, if needed. I had burned a lot of music CDs for my father and family back in the days. My last Desktop PC, an i7-920, still has the optical drive from LG xD

[Sheepless Ram]

Yeah I still have one in mine. I just have too much CDs lying around thanks to my mom, uncle and me.

[Preacher]

Yes, but it runs like crap and won't open 8/10 times. Would like to get a better one than this ASUS

optical drives are so slow with both reading and writing there are better to just have a usb optical you can plug in if you need one and save the space on your computer build

I remember for a short time those tvs with the optical drive built in to them.

using it yesterday and today to back up some of my dvds of lotr 1,2,3

great times for pro consumer physical dvds , buy movies at thrift store for 50 cents or a $1 instead of renting from netflix or something or having to watch ads

yes still have dvd-drive in my rig i only use it for installing win 10 as its only on dvd apart from that never use it

Hell yeah, sir! ATA Optiarc DVD RW AD-7260S still working after all this time.

Though sometimes it gets stuck in a spooling-up spooling-down phase where it doesn't know what to do and refuses to read the disc until a while after. I used it recently to burn a lot of old family footage over to digital preservation.

It doesn't have much use anymore, but it doesn't hurt to have in my PC for right now.

[Agent]

Most cases don't have it, but they still have USB ports for an external DVD player.

[Back Yard Gamer]

I still have a couple from dell built systems circa 1999. I actually came across the systems in the attic last week. They still boot to win 95.

[Skkooomer Lord]

USB one.

[Electric Cupcake]

Of course.

I don't have all the needed software for it, since my old Anydvd HD "lifetime" subscription expired when the company restructured.

MakeMKV works fine.

In my pc? Nope. On my pc? Yes. (Got one of those portable ones)

[♫Silver♪]

Yup! Installed it not that long ago
