To tell you the truth Jay I don't speak technical too well. I have no idea. And it was a gift for a friend, and Friday I checked to see if she had it set up yet, and she said Not YET.My computer is about the same as this one - also a DELL. There is a DVD reader but I don't know anything more than what the description gives us,, and that mine works okay. If you want to email me and explain exactly what you are looking for, please feel free.

The Optiplex units come in a variety of configurations, and generally include a DVD R/W. Be sure to get a refurbished system as the capacitors have a tendency to go bad in the used units.

You'll have to have an extrenal CD/or DVD drive to do the installation. You can buy one on Amazon for a very small price. After that, you will NOT need to have the external optical drive plugged in.

There is no optical drive. For some reason in the Optical Drive field Amazon says "Brand New with Manufacturer's Warranty". I think they meant to show this for the condition of the product, it has nothing to do with an optical drive, because there is none.

No, need to buy online, not so expensive for a slim CD/DVD/Blu-Ray combo drive, if u want to a Blu-Ray writer drive, a bit more spending would be nicer...:)

Not sure about the optical part but the hard drive is the Zif type and I know they have 80GB ones. They are used in iPods. Not sure what other sizes. Very easy to switch. You can do it yourself

There is no optical drive (DVD-ROM). This is a small hard drive, but the idea is you keep most of your stuff in the cloud.

The trend is away from built in optical drives, and this model, which I am typing on now, does NOT have an optical drive built in. An external is very inexpensive, like this one : http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Portable-External-SE-218CB-RSBS/dp/B00DBV28TG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1403010072&sr=8-1&keywords=usb+dvd+drive . They are thin and light so they aren't too much trouble, but if you ned one built in, check carefully as they are not as certain to be there as in the past. Good Luck!

Hello, The X230 do not have optical drive, only the ultrabase, like this model 43R8781.

There is no internal optical drive included. However you can add an external unit via one of the USB or Thunderbolt ports.If you opt for the Apple USB SuperDrive make sure to read the System Requirements for the drive. It was made to only work on Apple computers that did not have an optical drive included as a standard feature. The SuperDrive has very mixed reviews (see the Apple store web site for user feedback, as of 26 July 2013 ... 51% say 5 star and 48% say 1 star).Also, you will be limited in Blu-ray options if you are so inclined.

No optical drive, it does have USB 3.0 however. I think k you can get an external optical drive for pretty cheap on Amazon. This one looks like a good choicehttp://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00DBV28TG?cache=3a045be90ec2006237e367be92fca0a1&pi=SY200_QL40&qid=1405034895&sr=8-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1
