Hi,

I've got this laptop with a standard DVD-ROM drive and I was wondering if (and where) I could find a DVD-RW drive for it. (not external).

Thanks

UJ-822 is the model number you want to search for.

They are hard to find b/c T4x and T6x series laptops use 9.5mm height drives, and the majority of laptop drives out there are 12.5mm.

You're going to pay a premium for that drive.

Wait a bit. They are going to release much better drives in the near future. Most drives today burn at 2x or maximum 4x.

That's correct, but the price on those drives will be high. It's a cornered market and there isn't much to do about it until there is some competition.

Thanks for the tip.
So, this being said I'm going to search for an external USB dvdrw. (or else, how about a combo drive for the T40 ?)
Can you recommend me a good /cheap/ slim external dvdrw ?

Thank you !
