    New owner of Travelmate 2414WLMi , and by exploring Panasonic specs of other ACER compatible older DVD RW drive , i found as the latest and greatest of them, the one called as UJ-870 .

    I did order it , but if any one else had test it and install it , it would be nice if he has any tips to offer .

    Good news ... ;)

    The UJ-870 Panasonic (2008 - Malaysia) installed on my 2414WLMi and works fantastic .

    Now i will keep the Pioneer DVR-K16RA 8X that came with the laptop, as spare.

    I was hopping for more speed with the Panasonic , because its very fresh drive.
    The only deference at their specs are the speed at DVD-DL writing .
    The Panasonic does that at 6X .
