    Hey guys I am going to be changing my m15x for a m17x r4 soon and I will be giving the m15 to my sister but the optical drive in it doesnt work anymore and i was wondering if i could put the one from the m17x in the m15 since I dont really have a use for it.

    they are pretty standard size. I don't see no reason why it wouldn't work, unless the M15x is not a slot drive,
