Who here still has an optical drive in their rig. If so, what do you use it for?

 

[Mohamad Ali Jarkas]

I have a bluray one. Use it for cracked cds and such since i live in a third world country

 

[Dave LaBarge]

Ya, burning cds for the old car players, ripping full bitrate stuff from cd's. Don't use DVDs at all really.

 

[Boyd Valdivieso]

I have a USB DVD drive if I need it Wich is never

 

[Mikey Cimaglia]

I use mine for backyard baseball

 

[Kenneth Lesley]

I do. Especially considering most hardware(GPU, pci-e Wi-Fi cards, etc...) still come with drivers on disc. Easier to install then update software and drivers.

 

[Logan Vaas]

I have a blu ray, and I use to make some backups

 

[Matt Lainson]

Mine is a Blu Ray Burner so I use it to watch Blu Ray movies and burn Blu Ray discs. I also use mine for Windows installations. I havent gone over to flash drive yet

 

[Kaboom Simons]

[Mike Heil]

burning music and movies for relatives who are still in stone age

 

[Alan Elliser]

Yes and to fill a hole

Dvds, Blu Rays, older discs etc.

I still keep them to burn music for older car players

 

[Richard Savoy]

If you have a Ryzen it makes good a toaster

 

[Ryan Meyer]

Aesthetics? literally no idea why I bothered with one haha

 

[Andrew Cobb]

One less thing to hook up haha and sometimes I wish I had it so I don't need to search the interwebs

 

[Richard Savoy]

I got one only because my case came with an open bay.

 

[Anthony Bird]

i have one simply to use when its needed .... better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it .... and tbh it come in handy at times for odd picture sharing and such .... i know better ways now but not all grandmas have the latest tech when they want to look at things lol

 

[Josh Marmont]

I literally only used mine for driver downloads and I couple of CD's in the past

 

[Cameron Leonard]

Me but its just there now
