Best Answer

Having two optical drives is just another configuration for computers. A user can get a computer with one or two optical drives or more. The optical drives can be of the same type or different. e.g. you can have one BlueRay or HD-DVD drive and another one can be a DVD-RW drive or you can have DVD-RW and DVD-ROM and CD-RW.

You can play songs or movies from one drive while you copy something or make a backup of your data in the second drive. Two drives allows you to copy directly from one drive to another if the drive is write capable.

Having more than one hard drive is just a computer configuration option. You can add multiple hard drives for purpose of adding more storage capacity or redundancy.
