    Hi, I ordered a new Sony Vaio CW 290 and I'll probably not use the dvd drive that much... I was wondering if it's possible to replace it for a ssd or hdd later on... I'm wondering because of the dvd tray.. do they have a special part to hide this hole if I replace it? Do they have custom "bays" where I put the ss or hd drive so it gets the shape of a dvd drive?

    I would think you could, but if someone knows where we can get the part... and maybe an external enclosure for my BD drive?
