The latest consumer cards affected by this change will be the bombastic TITAN series, on the other end of the price and power spectrum, with the Titan V CEO Edition released in 2018.

And right now, the best-selling external DVD drive on Amazon is currently on sale. The Amicool USB CD/DVD drive is now just $20, down from its original $29 with this sizable 31% discount. (You'll need Prime to score this special price, but if you don't have Prime, you can get it at this price anyway just by signing up for a free 30-day Prime trial.)
Why the Amicool drive is so great
The Amicool drive comes with a USB 3.0 interface that transfers data at up to 5Gbps. That's fast enough for smooth working with large files, and it's also compatible with older USB standards, which is handy if you plan to use it with older laptops or PCs.
Thanks to plug-and-play, all you need to do is connect the drive via USB— no driver installations or power supply required. Almost all common formats are supported, from CD-R to DVD-RW, both for reading and burning. This makes it versatile for everything from making backups to digitizing old discs to installing older software.
Both USB-A and USB-C connectors are included here, so it's flexibly compatible with Windows PCs, MacBooks, and more. Mobile devices (e.g., smartphones and tablets)

And just because this mini PC is uber affordable doesn't mean it's a piece of junk that you'll toss in a year or two. It runs on an AMD Ryzen 5 7430U processor, a hefty 32GB of RAM, and a fast 512GB SSD—a fantastic combo that delivers smooth performance at minimal cost, allowing you to browse dozens of Chrome tabs, run multiple apps, stream video, all on Windows 11, without choking or sputtering. Want to upgrade down the road? It fits up to 64GB of memory and 2TB of storage.
But my favorite thing about the Kamrui E3B is how many ports you get. Between HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB-C video, you can hook up to three 4K@60Hz monitors for an awesome home office setup. On top of that, you get six(!) high-speed USB-A ports, a Gigabit LAN port, and a 3.5mm audio jack, plus the usual Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 support.
At this price, you'd be crazy to pass this up! Score the Kamrui E3B mini PC for only $257.13 while you can because this limited-time deal and VSC35YOV promo code won't last forever!
