Noise when disk is spinning is louder than my processor fan. However, it operates as I expect. Eventually, these types of drives will go the way of the old 3.25" drives. I've only needed it to install the operating system and productivity applications. Unless Microsoft releases an Xbox emulator that I can play my games on this computer, I really do not use this CD/DVD drive.
