Just to be pedantic, you don't actually "download" anything from a cd or DVD disc, download only refers to internet.

For $30 you won't get much, probably only a second-hand cd/dvd drive. Best to get a sata drive.

Anort3 has the best answer. ^

With a brand new retail cd/dvd drive, you would get a manufacturer warranty but could expect to pay as much as $60.

Those drives are not second hand they are OEM. Meaning they are shipped in bulk but not in a retail box. It's still a brand new drive. All I have ever used since the CD only drive days. I don't remember with floppy drives. May have bought them OEM as well.
