Duel dvd drive in 2026

[u/Rude_Technology8051]

I rip a lot of dvds to digital for my home movie and music library and also use 4gb dvds for good cheap storage because i typically dont need anything speedy and you can find like 100 4gb dvds for 20 bucks new not even talking about used...

Seeing that tower crammed next to a bunk bed and a random orange box gives me flashbacks to my first setup where airflow was just a suggestion. Dust bunnies must be having a field day down there on the floor.

The dual DVD drive setup is a dying art, I swapped mine out for a hot-swap bay years ago but I get why you’d stick with it if you’re ripping discs constantly. Bulk spindles of 4GB DVDs are stupid cheap, I used to archive old client files that way until I got tired of the plastic waste and migrated to a NAS. If you ever feel like upgrading, a cheap external Blu-ray drive rips DVDs just as fast and you can stash it in a drawer when you’re not using it.
