10 years is nothing for a dvd burner, once cd's reached 52x speed and DVD rw's hit 8x speed, all thats left is DL and once it hits 6-8x speed thats probably it, so if you get one of these it will be good nearly for ever let alone 10 years. They will never break the 52x cd speed and the others will stay relatively where they are as well since the next generation data storage will eventually wipe the cd/dvd from the market anyway, they will always be a decent and cheap source of storage though.
Good point. I only burn DVD's for friends never for myself anymore.
Meh.
Optical drives are so yesterday.
Flash media will be the future.
What a boon/revolution it will be for desktop PC design.
One of the fundamental requirements of a desktop case has been easy access to the optical drives.
Assuming no other changes to current component design- think motherboard and power supply here- just switching to solid state hard drives and eliminating the optical drive reduces the needed case size by easily 30%, with no performance hit.
A small remote enclosure with a few USB and eSATA (or whatever the new standards will be) ports would be the only part of the PC you'd need to see/have accessible.
Sweet.

Yes, it certainly was.
I'm going to go cut on myself now.
