    If you want something easy you need to buy the combo drive or dvd burner that Asus has already set up with the faceplates for the Z63a......

    Otherwise ALL notebook optical drives are basically standardized and have been for years...... your only problem will be the faceplate and the drive carrier....

    Anyone tried a slot loading drive. I put one in my Sager 5690 and love it.
