When reading CD and DVD, you have speeds up to 24X for CD-ROM and 8X for DVD-ROM, which is fully sufficient for fast installation of games, programs, and operating systems from disc.

Who it is suitable for

Suitable if you still work with physical media – installing old games and programs from discs, watching DVD movies, or archiving data on CD/DVD. It is also a good option for office machines where from time to time a CD/DVD needs to be read or written. If you do not use discs at all and everything is digital/USB/online, it makes less sense to install it.

The smartest thing here is the combination of SATA connectivity, support for the main CD/DVD formats, and compatibility with modern Windows versions, so you can easily add an optical device to a contemporary or older configuration without unnecessary complications.
