    Hi everyone,

    I've been looking on ebay.co.uk for a new ODD for my aspire 5551 laptop and have only come up with one available.

    So i was wondering if there are any other compatible drives which i can use in the laptop? I have checked the aspire 5551 service manual and found nothing of any help.

    Thanks,
    mouseym~

    Any SATA notebook drive will do with possible exception of drives meant for specific brands (Lenovo comes to mind).
