What type of dvd drive or drives are compatible with this motherboard?

This mobo supports SATA devices. pretty much any DVD / drive that is SATA will work, provided your OS is loaded with the driver for that device. Most std DVD & drives for PCs are automatically detected with Windows 7 / 8

It's probably compatible. I had the same issue installing it in a ECS motherboard. The recommended memory wasn't an exact match, but it's worked just fine.

In my case I have using an IDE DVD drive connected to a SATA socket on the motherboard and it works perfectly. Good luck.

No motherboard has any "Windows built-in".you have motherboards that are compatible with windows 8 or windows 8 ready but the operating system i.e windows is not built-in. that is installed on hard drive. Which you still need the disc media to install it.

Yes , I bought the motherboard and it was compatible. If you plan on doing the work yourself , the old motherboard is labeled so check that first

It depends on what kind of connection your motherboard is using for the cd drive. If it uses SATA than no, you'll need to find a different one.

It does not use any drivers so it only has to be compatible with your drives and motherboard.

It has a DVD RW drive, but I haven't used it yet so can't tell you how well it works.

Asus makes a decent, inexpensive external drive. I use this one:ASUS External Slim 8X DVD-RW Stylish Cut Design Optical Drive SDRW-08D2S-U/BLK/G/AS

If this is a relatively new computer with an up to date operating system, nothing other than using any disc that came with the drive and an open slot in the case for mounting. Windows should do the rest.

Go to the manufacturer website for a list of compatible MB's. I got an MSI MB. Gigabyte makes a good one too.

Should be compatible, just make sure you know what type of cable connection ports you have IDE or SATA, it is a simple swap.

Thank you for the resource. I did order the computer from Amazon. Actually when I thought about, I rarely used the DVD drive in my Acer notebook. An outboard one will be just fine for my purposes.

Not enough information provided to answer question; need: model type, e.g., x230, T___, Yoga___ -- and whether it has an optical drive already (presumably not), or docking station, or whether it requires an external drive.

Yes, this item is compatible with the motherboard.However without the presence of an internal USB3.0 Type-A port the cable will need to be run through the system to one of the back panel ports if you wish to mount the hub in a drive bay.

External DVD drive would be the best option. Optical drives are atypical on lightweight ultrabooks.
