Yeah you have that Right, not everyone likes everything on the cloud and not everyone has a 1 Gibibit per second connection either.

6 Mebibits/s is 768 KibiBytes/s

Also what are people going to do if cloud goes down, aka office 365, they are screwed at that point.
LMFAO HDDs are pretty cheap yet solid and waay better than CDs. Not even speaking about overpriced blu-ray stuff lol

Oh please. No it isn't. $100 for an MDisc drive and $60 for a 50pack of 50GB disks? That's overpriced? $60 for 2.5TB of storage that will outlive you is a good value.
let's be honest how many p0rn average Joe needs to store as a collection? 2*4 TB discs are more than enough for home fun.

I have the exact same issue on my lower-end Gigabyte Z690 - all fans randomly stop spinning and never restart afterwards until I power off/power on. Even a simple restart doesn't help. Nothing in the bios settings helps alleviate the issue, all the suggestions in other parts of the internet do nothing either. The only thing that solves it is a separate fan controller. Or buying the fans that can't stop, I guess, like OP did. I'm never buying a gigabyte mobo again.

I rarely build a PC without one. There are "people" out there with this flawed idea in their head that optical media is useless or antiquated. Total narrow thinking IMO, but whatever.

Actually it has more to do with external optical drives arriving in large numbers that surpassed the costlier to produce internal ones. Removing them to the realm of higher end interests for the most part. It isn't by mistake majority of external drives are repackaged slim drives designed for laptops.

I have no desire to have more cords and whatnot spread all over my desk. Drives belong in the case, not all over my desktop...

My comment was on the transition towards consumer subscriptions and streaming that made discs less popular. In response the very cheap slim external optical drive became the most readily available option.
