A DVD drive connects to a motherboard to read and write data from DVDs, which are optical discs used for storing multimedia content, software, and files. It typically interfaces through SATA or IDE connections, allowing the computer to access the data stored on the disc. While less common in modern systems due to the rise of digital downloads and streaming, DVD drives can still be useful for playing movies or accessing legacy software. They also facilitate data backups and transfers using physical media.
