Good morning, KoldStrejke, and thank you for your question. This baby is basic, basic, basic. I'm told you can buy and external DVD & connect it through a cable, but not---so I was told---install one internally. The price was out of my range, so I didn't pursue it further. I do have a Gateway number I've used for other inquiries: 866 539 3901. Suggest checking directly with Gateway. If you have not already bought this model & want a DVD, might be worthwhile to see what a model with an internal, already installed DVD would cost vs adding an external DVD. Good luck and hope this helps.

Better off using an external DVD drive. Just plug it into USB port and be done. Also I put an USB 4way splitter on mine and it allows for my mouse, printer, external antenna for wireless signal, and DVD player/burner to work all together on 1 port. I got DVD at Best Buy great price and they have several to choose from mine is 24X.

I have to agree I have basic basic, and I have an external drive as well. Gets me where I am going and works I Have the CD DVD player, external and it does a decent job. You can go to best buy or even here at Amazon. a lot less desk clutter and having wireless, none of the giant cords.

I don't know, but you can look up the drive specifications on the Western Digital website.

I replaced the sata 160gb,in my e-machine,with this one.I checked the space,under the dvd burner,and it was large enough to put the 320gb,in.Check your space,for a larger harddrive fit.All that matters,is if you have the room to put the 3.5 harddrive in.I have the space,for the larger harddrive.

Hi Jim, not think you have any problems, disk size and connectors are equal, it should work perfectly.

HI.I would say dvd -r or + should be good either one should work fine just stay away from dvd rw.Being that its old footage you wouldn't want a accidental write over and as for size a 4.7 gb disc is plenty.8 mm footage is pretty compressed already a 9 gb would probably be waste of space.

It depends, there are 2 types of cases, 9.5mm and 12.5mm. You need to measure the heights of your dvd-rom bank to figure it out which on suits your need..

The install is very simple. Your Motherboard should have a SATA cable port (look at the instructions for your computer). Connect the SATA cable opening on the back of the DVD drive and connect it to the SATA port on your motherboard! Good Luck!

If you are going to be putting more than 4 GB of memory in the machine, you need 64 bit. It will also be a little faster for many operations. I installed it by copying the DVD to a USB drive using a different machine and then booting the MicroServer from the USB drive.

Mini Discs fit in a regular CD-Rom. Notice the inner ring within your cd rom.

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...:)

The standard configuration is: 2 optical drives (DVD/BD/CD), 3x3.5" HDD drives (I believe your two 1TB qualify) and 2x2.5" SSD drives.As an option you can add a second 3-drive 3.5" cage (sold separately) or install 2.5" SSD drives in the 3.5" drive trays instead of the 3.5" HDDs.I hope this helps.

Now Dvd-rom is used less. You can use USB flash stick or flash card. This laptop seems more light without a DVD-rom.

As long as the media is readable by the device/drive. I'm assuming it's a DVD-ROM, there shouldn't be an issue booting off a DVD with this drive. Just make sure to change your boot settings in your BIOS when your ready to install Windows. Make sure you have your data cables handy, but you will need special software to play blu-rays. Otherwise the drive will think it's a DVD
