Hello, Deb. Thanks for your question. When you select Customize and Buy you can select the DVD-ROM or DVD-Writer under the Optical drive section for this HP Pro Small Form Factor 400 G9 Desktop.
If you frequently need to write or burn data to DVDs, the DVD-Writer would be a more suitable choice. On the other hand, if you only need to read DVDs, the DVD-ROM would suffice.
