Some have asked why get 2 optical drives? I was amazed by this question, its so conviniant to 2 drives in that I'm always swapping CDs/DVDs in and out of them. Having just 1 would just be a big hassle...

| I have 2 in my wife's computer, a reader and a burner. Did it to save wear and tear... but she doesn't use them the way they were intended.
My rig has one burner. I mount images of the disks I use the most, so it doesn't see a whole lot of use. | |

Yeah, I basically never use my DVD drive, lol
Not kidding, the other day I turned on my comp, saw the light for my DVD drive turn on and got a shock going what the **** is that! Was that always there? before realizing the reason the case was a grey / black colour in that section instead of the normal pitch black is cause it turns out I have an optical drive! omgnowai!
I'm in the same boat as Trotter. If I ever actually need a disc, I usually have the image of it somewhere round the place. Like on the occasion that I actually BUY a game (shock horror) I install it, go to gamecopyworld.com and crack it straight up unless it is known to screw up with cracks, lol, cause I can't be bothered keeping up with all the discs round the place! They just go straight to the CD wallet, haha
