Just because they LOOK the same, doesn't mean they are the same.

A CD drive can not read a DVD. A DVD drive CAN read a CD. It is backward compatible.

For what I do, a combo drive that is a DVD reader and a CD burner, is what I go with. I have never had need to burn a DVD. It all depends on your needs.
