I haven’t purchased an optical disc drive (ODD) for my PC since…actually, I don’t even recall the last time I bought one. It’s even been a minute since I owned a PC with a 5.25-inch drive bay to stick one into. Pioneer, like the honey badger, doesn’t give two flips and has released a new 5.25-inch optical disc drive anyway. Wondering why?
