drive, and connect it to your computer, so you can write to
and read CDs and DVDs. If you wish to purchase an external optical drive, shop Sony online at
or contact your local retailer.
The Sony i.LINK optical drive is only compatible with certain Sony VAIO

PCG series computers that are preinstalled
