    I recently bought a W530 (but it hasn't shipped yet) without an optical drive and I was wondering how do I get the bezel and mounting rails so that I can mount an aftermarket drive into my laptop.

    Thanks in advance.

    You might want to check eBay. I doubt there's a part number for it since it'd be included on all optical drives.

    Did you order the W530 with RAID?
