No. There are a number of reasons why internal optical drives are largely unavailable, though they can still occasionally be found mostly through the refurbished/used/secondhand market. The reasons include: 1. Modern PCs are pushing to be smaller and weigh less. Optical drives add weight (about half a pound) and bulk (12 cm. diameter). 2. Even Blu-ray discs top out at 128 GB, far below HDDs, SSDs, or pen/flash drives on a per-centimeter basis. 3. With the advent of fast network connectivity, cloud storage, software distributed via the Internet, and growing use of USB 3 and even USB 4 (with raw link speed of up to 80 Gbps), integrated optical drives have largely become obsolete. Should you need an optical drive (for example, for some games) they are still available, at a modest cost, as external, portable units.
