Question about Hard Drive options

Hello to all,
I am looking to buy my first MPC and I want to get the 2500. I have used and still use an ASR-10 for years but just need a unit like the MPC for work flow purposes. ASR is slow to me and stops my work flow so much so I don't like using it anymore.

Questions I have
- Does the 2500 come with a Hard Drive installed out the box or is this an option.
-Also if you have a Hard Drive in the unit can you still have the CD/DVD drive installed as well? This is something I have been wondering and I have combed through this forum looking for this info.

If anyone out there can set me straight please help me out.
Thanks

That thread doesn't answer his questions. Just contains more of your smart ass comments

Although I believe you can find all that info by checking the Akai homepage and reading the PDF manual, the stock 2500 doesn't come with a harddrive or DVD drive, and you can use both at the same time. Some dealers even sell them with both included.
