100%, my personal PC has one, and my HTPC does too.

If you don't mind me asking, what do you use it for?

Also, HDD are hard disc drives, so technically hard drives can be disc drives too, that's why the replier misunderstood you.

Yes HDD are disc based tech, yet I've never heard them refered to as just a disc drive without the hard despite having a platter disc in them. While not being the end all be all, wikipedia has disk or disc drives listed as referring to purely optical media.

And I use them to access a plethora of media from old back ups/family pictures, DVDs/Blu-ray, backing up said DVD/Blu-ray to Plex if I like them that much I want them digitally, old games(my oldest still useable disc is my 1998 minted "GOTY" Diablo 1.) Also just never hurts to have the ability to burn a CD or DVD either, though mainly still get the use out of CD burning for cars without an aux.
