All the SATA ports are in the front of the case. Optical drives run on SATA if newer.

No, there is no disk drive (optical drive) on this computer. Most information can be transmitted online or through a USB devises these days but if you wish to use the laptop for watching DVDs or using programs that require disks then this is probably not the machine for you. There are also external disk drives that would plug into the computer's USB port but if that is something you would use frequently it would probably turn out to be a hassle and it an extra expense. I hope this helps

This laptop does not come with an optical drive. You can use an external USB CD/DVD/BR drive or flash drive for most things anymore. The last few laptops I owned, I believe the only time I used an optical drive was to install Linux. Used a flash drive for Linux on this laptop.

no room for HDD because existing one stands on end. I do not know how much room optical drive takes.

No.I believe you can purchase an adapter for the optical drive location and place a second HDD in there. This will replace your current optical drive of course, so you would have to decide if that's something you can live without or you could purchase an external optical drive.

It is supposed to come with it but in my case did not. It also did not come wuith the optical drive I ordered to be installed. Also 2 of the USB ports were inoperative.My suggestion is do NOT by this computer, it is junk.

there is no optical drive (DVD/CD), and there is no SATA port behind the plastic spacer! But you can add DVD capability by plugging USB external DVD drive.

Mine didnt come with a cdrom drive. So i guess you can put it there. Just find a adapter or housing for it. Ther drive bays are for 3.5 drives. Most ssd comes with 3.5 adapters. But if you need the space use the cdrom slot. And get an external dvd reader.

You are welcomed Marilyn. The power cord connects on the left side. (Left would be looking at open screen). Right side is the Optical Drive.

Nope there's no optical drive. That's why I had to buy a seperate external optical drive

You could, if you bought an optical drive separate to put in this laptop. Ordered as-is, it doesn't come with an optical drive (CD or DVD-Rom).

Almost all cases don't include optical drives, this one included. It does have a couple bays that you can mount optical drives to, however.

There is an Optical Drive: Tray load DVD Drive (Reads and Writes to DVD/CD) in addition to the other media in/out ports.

It doesn't come with an optical drive, but there are slots for optical drives behind the front cover that swings open.

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

There are much easier ways to move your data than removing the optical drive and installing a second internal - which you would also need.I would hire a competent person to do the data migration for you. "Buy a sled" isn't really the solution.
