    Newegg has some good ones at a good price. I would rather buy from them than Ebay. They are a good company. My CD/DVD drive failed while my Acer 5100 was under warranty. I was able to get Acer to send me a replacement drive at no charge. Make sure you get a Laptop Slim drive.

    Acer 5100-3357
