Optical Media drive

The full-size Optical Media drive module lets you play from and record data to rewritable DVDs and CDs as well as run either 12 cm (4.72") or 8 cm (3.15") discs without using an adaptor. Use the preinstalled software, Drag ’n Drop, to write DVDs and CDs. Your drive may support the following formats, depending on model purchased:

Check the disc-in-useindicator when you use the Optical Media drive. Do not press the eject button, disconnect a drive or turn off the computer while the light is glowing. Doing so could damage the CD/DVD or the drive. Optical Media drives and media are manufactured according to the specifications of six marketing regions. When you purchase DVD media, make sure it matches your drive, otherwise it will not play properly.
