Optical fiber carries signals through light, and therefore at light speed, the fastest possible, and gets less hot. Copper wire transmits information using electricity, which although fast, is not nearly as fast as light. Fiber optics allows faster transmission of data.

Are there hard drives with a fiber optic interface?
Hello, Currently we do not have HDD with fiber optic connector on board, but this can be expected in future. Intel has already developed a chip which uses optical interconnects instead of copper and carbon nano tubes. When this technology is perfected, all the devices even the USB will be optical.
Is it possible to get a 3.5 mm audio jack to work in an optical audio out port?
No. A 3.5mm jack is a copper electrical connector while an optical port isn't. Although it is possible to obtain converters between optical and copper, it is an expensive route to take and almost certainly there is a lower cost alternative to the problem.
