Probably not and no.
The Studio 17s have been using slot-load drives since their inception and among other things, a large chunk of the chassis would have to be cut away before it could accept conventional optical drives. The Inspiron 17s still use tray-load drives, but I doubt these drives are the low-height devices shipping with the Latitudes and Precisions.n o n s e n s e - w a r s . c o m
