    Get it added on the Dell Ideastorm website: ideastorm dot com

    Is the external DVD drive a fixed unit, or can it be removed from the caddy like you could the D series? An E-Module HDD could be slotted into the caddy if that's the case. Just need to find the Dell PN for the caddy and the E-Module HDD - these take 1.8" drives.
