This makes me wonder how many Lemmy users have optical drives. I do.

I got a Blu-ray player just because I had an extra 5.25" bay. Flashed the open source firmware for it so I can rip and burn Blu-ray with it.

That was a year ago; I've never used it once

I have one, but I don't use it for anything.

I has one in my old rig. Decided to replay Gothic, so I got out the disks to try installing it, which failed and I ended up buying it on GOG for 2,50€ instead.

I decided not to have an optical drive in my current machine.

I have a blu-ray drive in my PC, it's so old that it can also do Lightscribe.

My laptop has! (I ~don't use a desktop)

Do external ones count?

I have an (unplugged) blu-ray drive in my tower… but only because my case is old enough that tracking down the right blanking plate is a pain.

I have an external Blu-ray drive which was quite the adventure to get working correctly on dosbox.

I have one in a USB enclosure in my parts box, I get it out every 5-10y when I need to read a disc
