    You still need a ROM drive

    I guess if all you do is social media and play games then "What's a ROM Drive?" probably applies but if you use your PC for more than this then you will probably need this. Burn a music CD, create a physical back up or have to load some software without an Internet connection...

    I recently purchased a new PC after the one I had for 7 yrs. played out! It had a DVD tray built into the PC. I was devastated to find that those are no longer available on newer models of personal computers. Thrilled when I found this external one to plug in to new computer.

    Most new computers do not come with internal dvd drive so we bought this one to add to a new laptop we just purchase. Works great easy to use.
