    Above is 100% correct.

    Been looking for one myself and found out that most laptops use a 12.7mm but the alienare M14X uses a 9.5mm and currently there are none.

    You will be able to find dvd drives and such at 9.5mm but no manufacturer has made a 9.5mm blue ray drive

    The only ones i found were some panasonic samples but no one knows if they work correctly or no as they were no ready to being sold.
