Yeah, but how often do you really need a DVD drive? I bought a portable one 
that I keep in a desk drawer, and only connect it when I need it. About the 
only thing I ever use it for is importing CDs into my iTunes library, which I 
rarely need to do now, as most of my music has already been imported. So that 
DVD drive spends most of its life just sitting there in the drawer. I would 
never have it permanently hooked up to my Mac, that'd just be a waste of a 
perfectly good USB port.
Cheers,
Donna
