Why would I need 2 drives? I only burn CDs occasionally. I dont watch movies or burn them. I only load games off of CDs. Which one would I need?

You'd only need a combo drive. One drive the reads DVD-ROMs (newer games and software now come on DVD-ROM discs) and reads and writes CDs.

Any of these would do with my preference to the one with the SATA interface.
