[WTFH]

Don't blame me, it was Billy Biro who started spelling it correctly. If you don't believe him, try being all scientific and type "Blu-ray dis" into Google and see whether you get a c or a k.

I don't care how it's spelt.

Stop trying to pass the buck. You totally mis-specced your requirements and now you want to blame everyone else for your own failings.

FloppyDisc would be more appropriate.

BTW why if one of us regulars starts posting crap and annoying mods we get told off and if we continue we get banned, but if you are a newbie who does it you are allowed to post crap for ages ?

It's floppy disk or Blu-ray disc. Keep up at the back.

Shirley it should be BigDisk (or BigDisc)

OP, a "disk drive" could refer to a Hard Disk Drive, a Floppy Disk Drive, a Laser Disk Drive, a Compact Disk Drive, a Digital Versatile Disk Drive, a Bluray Disk Drive, and possibly others as well.
A "Compact Disk Drive" or "Compact Disc Drive" (your latest version of your request) will not play DVD or Bluray, so if any of us provide you with links to those, you'll then whine that we are stupid/terrible.
Since you know so much, but it takes you 50 posts to say so, why are you wasting all our time with your BS?

Gosh I wish I had thought of a great trolling name. I'm surprised he didn't call himself BigDick.

Some idiot got confused earlier in the thread and thought that disk meant the really old floppy kind, as opposed to the not quite so old compact discs. He's probably technically right and you seem to be out of date by about 30 years.

Anyway, I changed the spelling to disc for his benefit.

Make sure when you are looking up the inside of your own rectum that you don't disappear up it

disc drive? When related to computers it's always "disk". Who the fu^£ taught you IT?

That's right, the discs I want to read contain confidential information (for reasons that should be obvious). Therefore, the government don't allow it to be downloaded from the internet.

Clear now?

That's why I want to buy a disc drive.

External drive for laptop

All apps in the damn cloud I suppose.

...or his illegal copy of office to install on his world of Warcraft machine.

Let's face it, he talks garbage, avoids facts or answering technical questions, he's a failed PM or maybe calls himself a "management consultant". Probably voted for Trump, too.

[xoggoth]

Eh ?? When did this happen ?

Solid state drives so much quicker. My PC takes about 10 s to start. Bit surprised laptops now have no DVD drive tho. All apps in the damn cloud I suppose.

Most people who watch porn aren't porn stars either. Are you clinically thick, or simply incapable of forming logical arguments (i.e. did you vote for Brexit?).

If I say I want to look at pictures of my butt. Then someone accuses me of watching porn. Then logically, I, as the owner of said butt, would be the porn star (or at least in the supporting cast).

But I'm not, so, even if you can't follow the logic, just quit asking me about it. It's creepy.

[NotAllThere]

FFS I'm not a porn star.

[hugebrain]

Who watches porn on discs anymore?

FFS I'm not a porn star. I'm fairly sure the reason it is a disc in the first place is so weird nosey pervs like the people on this site can't download it from the internet.
