This configuration works well for me because I use disks more often (back up, file transfers) and have the cd drive stored at home for installations when I need it. I have no need to cart a cd player on the road. The fd is not removeable, therefore not swappable with anything. I bought the cd player from PC Connection rather than buying an IBM one because of the prices were better. I have had no problem with the external cd player. Good luck with your decision, Karen
