I only just removed (and saved) by bluray drive because I moved HW into a new case w/o a 5.25” bay. Still have a USB disc drive when needed and can always run a sata out the side temporarily.
I applaud you, and I do mean that. I have a BR player attached to the family room TV at home and so many movoes, but absolutely no way to read any type of data disk.
I do have a LOT of software DVDs from yesteryear stored somewhere (not all of them ‘legally obtained’), so maybe I should get one of those external BD-ROM USB devices.
Then there’s the fact that there may be 2 computers left out there with any type of disc ROM device.
Great points you make, I hope more people understand.
