Do DVD/CD burners also read DVD/CDs?

[nano56]

ummm i know this might be a really dumb question, but im just not sure and i dont want to waste my money, so if i get a DVD/CD burner such as

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827136177

will it read CDs and DVDs as well. like for example if i wanted to use it to install a new OS to a computer or install software such as games?

or would i have to buy a seperate optical drive for that?

Yes, they read as well as write.
