If you mean a component to physically open and put in a disk then no, there is no disk drive.

The one i received did not come with a disk but did have windows installed, however it was not a licensed copy, it was what appeared to be a stolen copy or a copy that had been used too many times.

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

Mine did not and the drive itself was defective (could not read CDs or CD-ROMs; DVDs worked just fine). Do not buy this drive.

No, it has a 5400 rpm drive. Really slows down otherwise great performance.

it does not, but you can buy an inexpensive usb optical drive to use with it!

No, it is a bare drive. I used a usb2IDE appliance and Clonezilla, a free OpenSource download.

No, just a standard 3 terabyte hard drive. I love the Rocstor hard drives. They are very reliable.

Yes it does. I think it requires one before it will work. I had one laying around anyway so thats what i used but when i took it out of the box and tried to set it up it just sat there until i put the drive in and then it came up.

It does not have a disk drive. It can be connected to an external disk drive through a usb port.

No, it has a large 256 "GB" solid state hard drive. More than enough space for most users. Runs windows 7&#128515;

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.

The unit that I received did have the 1TB drive installed. It booted great. The interface was nice to work with and very functional. I used it for one of my customers who does not have a lot of technical skills and just needs it "too work". Hope that answers your question.

It does, but I do not recommend buying!! I have had much better luck with a "WD My Passport" harddrive.
