A DVD reader / writer for PC? I thought for $10 it is okay for people living near Osborne Park (WA).
Only use mine when i reinstall windows.
Don't even use mine for that. USB stick is much easier/faster.
If you don't know why are you negging it?
@gladbear
Because I don't think it's a bargain. Hence I neg. I am thinking the dvd writer is a negative value asset due to storage cost.
What if people have existing games/programs/movies on DVD? Just because you don't doesn't mean everyone else wont.
Hence I did not attack others and voiced my own opinion.
What do you use this for?
Laugh all you like but for those poor souls (i.e. all of us) who won't be getting Fibre anytime soon thanks to our ass-backwards Gub'mint and who are paying through the rectum for hard drives thanks to our ass-backwards currency and anti-competitive retailers who are now making sure that from July 1st, 2017 your killer OzBargain deals will cease to be so Broden-worthy; these are actually going to stick around for some time to come.
To compound all that, Blu-Ray is still some arcane voodoo possessed by a minuscule percentage of the populace and a successor optical format is years away at the earliest.
So, once again I reiterate, DVDs are not dead, you friggin' trendy, hipster, anti-physical media cultists with your pathological silly hatred for optical media. Go find something else to lament about being "like… sooooo 2006".

I have FTTP and still use DVDs :(
omg… i paid one of these for almost $100 8 years ago
I paid $150 for 3.2GB HDD around 15 years ago to replace my 210MB HDD
Technology depreciates over time? Wow, who would have thought?
I remember when internal DVD drives were $500! So a bargain compared to the 90's…
My very first CD reader was a Phillips unit, one speed, $700. That was probably about early to mid 1980's.
The first beige DVD Burner I bought to do Archival Backups at work cost $4000 and the Single-Layer blanks cost $80 each! That was back in about 2000-2001 and was our only long-term (non-tape) data storage solution. HDD storage became cheap enough for us in about 2006/7 and allowed us to extract all the data from those burnt DVDs so we could keep it in a 'read-only' volume on the server. Lucky that happened because half of those burnt DVDs were starting to fail by that stage, some even began delaminating! Even luckier was the fact that I create two copies and one set was kept in a dry, cool fire safe because without those we would've lost quite a bit of critical data. Memories ;)
Bought mine for around $400 after price drop. It was loading the disk with mpeg files to watch in dvd players that accepts dvdr+- and dvdrw+-.
Xbox360 backups?
Yeah, I thought I recognised the model. This may be able to do X360 backup.
Paid close to $100+ a few years back.
Awesome price to chuck on a USB adaptor or in an HTPC
What is this?
Cup holder. Press button to reveal cup holder tray. Press it again to hide it.
Seen ppl turning into an ashtray.
I remember the good old times having to burn movies to a vcd to play in dvd players because I was too broke to have a dvd burner.
Pixelated movies ftw!
I loved making VCDs! And the Salvos are full of Asian copies of VCD movies.
Those were the days.
It's like I got out of the delorean to the alternate 2015
Any Zip disk bargains?
Sorry, sorry…not helping…
LOL
I still have mine somewhere 😃
Was a life saver when they first came out.
LiteOn drives were the bomb back in the day~
I remember when I got their 52x24x52 cd burner and thought I was the coolest kid in school.
Gave me ultra bragging rights over those that had 48x burners. So lame!
Agreed
Those on sale are probably from the same batch…..
What do you use this for?
