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

It doesn't come with the base or the drive. You can find the base on Amazon but it also doesn't include the drive. Actually it's better to just buy a third party drive and use it for the few times you will actualy need to load anuthing from a disk. Save yourself about $40 and buy a USB3 drive that can just connect to the unit and won't require the base.

It comes with a CD caddy adapter that allows you to repalce the optical drive with another HDD. I believe it also has an mSATA (but I'd verify that first).

Yes, that particular model comes w/an optical drive, CD/DVD burner. Positive.

Yes there is. Optical drives are becoming rare as ultrabooks are becoming slimmer, but this one does have one so that you don't have to keep an external optical drive.

The Unit I purchased has DVD R/W drive, but it is Not a Blue Ray Drive. This was not issue for this unit since I mainly use it for Business and some Personal computing. I did early this year replace my Wife's computer (I don't allow her or anyone else to use my unit because "Unsafe Internet browsing" & Lack her backing up the files on the computer), which I chose to purchase a Sony All in one desk top Vaio with all the bells & whistles including a R/W Blue ray CD drive. So if that is option you must have, and if Samsung does not offer it, you may want to check out the Sony. One thing though, this Samsung has nearly the same options less the Blue Ray, and cost me about 1/3 less. The Unit I purchased has DVD R/W drive, but it is Not a Blue Ray Drive.

I own an X551CA and YES it has a CD/DVD drive and 2nd, the Celeron model is the X551M not the X551CA (I3 processor). Amazon is using the wrong description.

Yes it is :) It comes in the box. On a side note you should know that this model does not come with an optical (DVD) drive built in. So you will need to buy an external one.

I do not own this computer, I bought it for my daughter. She really loves it. This is classified as an "ultrabook" which DOES NOT come with an internal optical drive. My earlier version from Lenovo is the same and I do not miss it. It is rare when I am traveling when I need an optical drive. I bought an external/portable drive for my daughter for her few installations or CD music. The loss in convenience is why the cost and weight of this computer are very nice.

From a brief look, it appears the E521 has the required 5.25" drive bay (2 total, though your current optical drive may need to come out) and an SATA connector on the motherboard (the service manual says connect CD/DVD drive to SATA2 or SATA3 labeled connectors on the motherboard, SATA0 and SATA1 are for HDD). The E521 does appear to be an older model but the drivers says they work back to XP. I installed my LG drive on a Win7 system.

I don't have an optical drive in at the moment, but I bought this model for the aesthetics. I watch most of my content digitally. I am planning on adding a drive in the future for the moments when I do need the use for it. If you are looking for access frequently I would try the previous model :ML03B

No. It has no optical drive, making one more reason I regret ever buying this monstrosity of poor design.

It will take a standard optical drive. It comes with a concealing faceplate for that smooth look, but it is not required.
