It says there is a blue-ray drive but is there also a DVD-RW drive?

PC Blu Ray drives are generally backwards compatible with DVD. They can play DVD's.

Honestly only if you truly desire to write on DVDs you can seek that out. But that technology is old and unnecessary. Flash drives, memory sticks and cloud saving the the current way to share files.

Sorry no. It's just a standard DVDRW drive that's in-built. At least my particular model's is in-built.

No. Theres NO optical drive. A bit disappointing. I picked up an external for 30 bucks that was also blu ray.

Yes it does. It comes with DVDRW (R DL) / DVD-RAM optical drive. Thanks, PCrush

Mine does have the dvd-rw, does NOT have a floppy drive installed. Mine only has a rectangular "tap out" where the floppy drive is shown in the picture. Another draw-back is that my unit did NOT come with a rescue cd, which means that if you want to install/use "Recovery Console", you're on your own. Nevertheless, I agree with the others about this being a really good machine.

No, this does not have a Blu Ray drive. I suppose you can put in one if you want. You can play most modern games on it though.

Before I bought mine, I checked the Buffalo website. It can vary depending on when you buy it and the size drives you get. Mine came with Western Blue drives.

Yes, it has an optical drive. While I did not use that I am almost certain it is a DVD drive; perhaps even DVD RW drive.

I'm pretty sure that one has the dvd drive. I replaced the hdd with an ssd really easily.

That's what it says but I didn't have a blue ray disc to test it out. Unlike stock Win8 this machine does play DVDs out of the box. Asus took care of that for you. Good old MS removed media player from 8.

No, there is no dvd drive. Just buy an external if you need to load something on dvd.

Don't know as I sent the computer back for a refund. The computer was advertised that it had a DVD R/RW drive and it did not come with one

Yes the one I bought, had the hardware as described....but the DVD drive wasn't reading any disc. So I bought an external DVD drive for $30.00..Minor cosmetic damages. But up to now, the computer is working.

DVD drive is not included. You will need to purchase an external DVD drive if you need one.
