    my TS-L632D cd drive turns all my CDRs into coasters unless apparently i burn at 4x....

    Any standard 1/2" thick slimline optical drive.

    See this thread for some general tips on changing the optical drive.

    I bought a Nec / Optiarc recently for 50 EUR, works just fine. Didn't have the same fascia snap-in locations so it doesn't look so pretty... but oh well you can't have everything.
