I am not really sure where you are located (ie in the US or not) but you can buy a dvd burner for about $30US. Here is a place I have bought a lot of computer parts through: Dvd burners at Newegg.com The last one I bought was a $120 burner but it was a top end Plextor drive. The main advantage of 2 drives is then if you copy something you can do it directly as opposed to going copy to hard drive then copy to media on optical drive, this saves a bit of time otherwise there is no real advantage other than if one fails you still have the other one you can use. Frankly if I was going to put 2 optical drives in now they would both be dvd burners. Currently I have a cd-rom only and a dvd burner. If the cd drive ever fails I would put a second dvd burner in.
