Is the DVD drive mount set up so that the drive could be turned upside down, and loaded from the right instead of the left when set up as a tower?

I did not try it, but I pulled the box open to add RAM and a SSD and it was a standard DVD mount. Worst case you would have to drill a mounting hole or two for the little screws. Or flip the entire case upside down and modify nothing. The on/off button would be at the bottom versus the top etc... Hope this helps!

Hey Kaylin - when I first received the unit & held it in my hands - I asked myself that same question: "What is that thing on the side, if it's not a DVD drive?" Answer: "A mostly black piece of glossy plastic!" (LOL / I was hoping maybe the description got it wrong. But no.) It looks like it's "DESIGNED" to accommodate a DVD drive (perhaps in a more expensive model?) But from me to you (person-to-person) it ain't there. Hope this helps! :-) Brian Newberry

Yes. You may be required to exchange connections on the back of the drive, and swap faces on the front.

Not a common question, but, yes. It will lay still on a flat surface. But, considering the way your HDD is inserted in the case, if you use HDD in your system, it might not be a good idea to let the disk spinning at 7200rpm vertically.

Sorry no. It's just a standard DVDRW drive that's in-built. At least my particular model's is in-built.

Yes, I think you could mount it horizontally. I'm not sure if the DVD's would stay in the rack as well, though.

You'd have to mount the drives as JBOD, which this model does have as an option.

There are two bays on the front left side for CD/DVD/BluRay drives the two bays on the right are for hot swap hdds

I couldn't get it to work in it's intended direction, I don't think it'd work in the opposite one. But DVD drives are weird because they have slave jumpers and stuff so I couldn't speak to what would work.

Donald, you are right, in the new Toshiba Satellite C55, the optical drive is located on the left side, I dont know the reason why Toshiba changed its location ? In my old Toshiba Satellite A-105 it is located on the right, and all ports and slots are on the left. If you are right handed it is more convenient and confortable to have the optical drive on the right, but if you are left handed probably you would prefer the actual way. The question now is if Toshiba have a different product configuration for right and left handed people. Is funny .

Yes. You'll see on the front panel there is a slot on the right. The DVD drive goes behind that panel. You will however need a slim, slot-loading DVD drive to fit one in there.

No not at all, but be advised once the DVD player is in place in this mount you will need to remove the DVD player in order to load new DVD's.

There is an exposed screw on the bottom which you would see if you turned it the other way. Not sure whether it would have any impact on the functionality.

Yes. Make sure your the current DVD bay door side does not have an angle other than 90 degree
