If you are building a PC and/or trying to replace your old drive, this is a cheap, affordable product that serves well.

A word of warning, this is meant for newer PCs, this is only connects with SATA cables so if you don't have a SATA port on your Motherboard, don't buy it unless you are building a new PC that has a motherboard with SATA ports. I got it for around 18 dollars and the product works very well. I was able to install games and play my PS2 games with an emulator. The disc load times were reasonable, or just way better than the PS2 disc load times. Of course the PS2 is now around 14 years old and this product is only a few to a couple years old. I haven't tested if it can burn CDs and DVDs but it definitely says that it burns DVDs and CDs and I trust that because that's kind of mandatory for any CD drives nowadays.
