JackOrlowski Posted June 30, 2007 Posted June 30, 2007 I use 2 sata opticals in my sig. I use one for the game of the day and the other for anything else I need to do. Be it burn, rip or transfer files, and its nice having a second drive when backing up discs. As for the desktop optical drive enclosures I have seen external sata compatible ones.

old_geekster Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 In this computer I only use one optical drive. It is a HP DVD/CD burner. It works great for both. I don't do enough burning to necessitate more. Â I have a CD burner in my older rig, also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brando56894 Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 ive almost always had 2 drives, but the dvd burner in my dads pc died so i let him use my crappy one and then his cd rom drive stopped working on his computer so i took it and put it in mine and it works fine. ive actually only used one drive in the past year or so, the only reason i would used both is if im copying something.

Coors Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 How much does a unit like that cost? Â Mine was like $170. I don't remember what model it is though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Septem Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 One drive for me. I don't know what you call em when they do everything... :tooth: Â A combo drive I think, although that's ambiguous now because with so many formats, not all combo drives do everything anymore. :tooth: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

n_w95482 Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 I have two drives in my main computer, a LG GDR8164B IDE DVD-ROM and a Lite-On LH-20A1L SATA DVD burner. I only use the burner to burn discs and the reader to read them, because every burner that I read discs on fairly regularly died pretty quickly, and I read in a few different places that using the same drive for reading and writing is hard on the laser assembly. The first burner that I used to read stuff as well died in three months . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest navinjohnson Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 I use an old HP cd-writer plus and a Pioneer combo burner. I've always had two drives just so I have the option of burning from one disc straight to another. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
