I want to add a second DVD/CD drive

I have a new Dell ZPS 8700 and wish to add a second DVD/CD. What should I be looking for? Thanks, Bob

You need a 5.25" SATA DVD drive, similar to the drives shown here:
 
 
Also you will need a SATA data cable, there should be a spare SATA power connector already inside the case for an additional DVD drive.
 
 
Plus, 2 x Hex Head M3 x 1/4-Inches Long Screws, to mount the drive.
 
 
Procedures to help installing the drive [see pages 45/46] are, here:
