Amazon listing picture shows an Optical drive is included.The unit I received has only a blank cover plate.No problem... I bought a Vantec USB3 to Sata adapter (CB-ISA225-U3).  I can use just about any Sata CD rom burner (or Hard Drive) externally now. (Likely Bluray and MDisc as well.)  I don't have to rely on an out dated, underpowered 1/2 height internal cd drive.Someone else responded with the following, not me;Also in  response to a question it was stated that an optical drive is included---Question:Does this unit have a CD rom drive?Answer:Yes, it does.By Amazon Customer on July 1, 2020---
