Quick DVD drive Question

Is this the same type of drive that is in the XPS2? I wanted to know that if I bought a CDR drive it would be easily upgradeable to DVD in the near future. I would rather have a extra drive and pay +$10 than just pay Dell $100 to upgrade it for me.

Thanks

Yep its the same drive and will work fine, you just need to replace the bezel, as they are slightly incompatible.

I think it is a couple of screws. Can you confirm this Spaz as I have not done this particular upgrade...

Is the bezel a Dell part?

or you have to buy the whole drive?

You can remove the one that comes with the laptop and transfer it to the ND6500 burner.
