I bought my computer a few years ago. It not only has no drives but it

At least external USB drives exist.. unless it doesn't have that either.

Good one!

My newest PC is seriously limited in drive-bays too. It has no
external bays (so no floppy, optical or tape drives, nor any 'fun' LCD
displays), and its two 3.5" internal drive bays are essentially after
thoughts, inconveniently hidden beneath the front panel and difficult
to access (even the niches for 2.5" SSDs are somewhat hidden).
Yeah, I miss having the disk and wifi lights on my old T410.
Coming from my previous PC, which had five external bays and at least
as many internal, the lack of upgrade options is jarring. Then again,
I knew this when I bought the PC. I could have opted for a better
chassis, but I didn't feel like paying the premium. Anyway, I still
have my older towers, so if I /really/ to, I can always transfer the
motherboard into the old case.

I don't need to use discs often... but when I do - whether floppy,
zip, optical or SD card - having external drives already in the drive
is a very welcome feature. Having to dig through the drawers trying to
find the necessary USB device is annoying.
Or buying it.
