Hi all. I am contemplating that after I have fully installed the OS in a new build, to remove the DVD drive from the case and use the free 5.25 drive bay for other uses. My new build case has one 5.25 bay in it.

In my current (ageing..!) pc system, I use the DVD drive maybe once every six months, if that. Seems like a waste. :rolleyes:

Anyone here running a system with external optical drive capabilities only?
 
I have a external optical drive, however the ONLY time i have ever used it was to make a bootable usb from my windows 7 disc. I have no use for it now really but nice to have about.

i find external storage devices more appealing now, plug in and launch installer. Tend to be faster too.

EDIT : i don't think ive had a internal drive for at least 6 years now.
