which external dvd drive is for this computer

Any external drive would work. If you are getting a new one, I would look for one that takes advantage of the fast usb 3.0 connection. I picked the Samsung SE-218 because it was also thin and light and had a similar finish.

This is a desktop optical drive. Buy a external usb dvd drive if you want something external.

You can use pretty much any USB external cd, DVD, or bluray burner or player. The drivers are usually preloaded so there should be no issues.

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

I use my external hard drive without problems, but my external DVD drive will not work properly -- keeps losing connection. Both are USB powered. My work around for the DVD drive is to attach it to my USB hub that has its own power cord.

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

This drive is too large to fit inside any Mac laptop (even if you have one that can accommodate an internal optical drive), so you'll need an external drive case. Make sure the case can accommodate a SATA drive (I imagine most cases do these days, but check anyway just in case). I suspect you'll need a case with its own power supply, the drive probably is going to draw more power than you can get over a USB bus.The other alternative would be to return it & buy an external DVD drive. You'd probably wind up with a smaller & more portable device that way.

I have a MBP on which the internal DVD no longer works. This external drive works fine. Just remember that once a disc is in the tray you must use the laptop controls to eject the disc.

Mine came with one but it was broken. I had to replace it with an external drive (which the company paid for). Otherwise I am happy with the computer. My advice is to try out the dvd burner right away - mine would not close after using it pretty regularly for about a week. I hope this helps.

There is no DVD slot on this computer. Apple makes an external DVD read/wright I think I paid 75.00 on Amazon for mine. If you need/use one these match the computer in color and are very fast and quite. Well worth the price.

it does not have a dvd drive, but you do not need one to install Windows stuff. Ggo to the Microsoft sight and check out getting the whole or part of their package. The price isvery nice for all you get and since it is not actually on your laptop it is always up to date, you do not have to do anything but uusee it
