    Hi,

    Just wondering if anyone can tell me where I can buy a blu ray Rewriter for my XPS. I would prefer it to be silver and from the UK. I was told that the LG BT10N would fit but cannot find anyone in UK selling it

    thank you

    Hi mate,

    I've got a Sony BD-5730S Blu-ray reader/writer in my XPS17.

    I'm not sure if it will fit the XPS15 however??

    Any tray-load 12.7mm SATA drive should fit. It's a standard size in laptops. Take off the face plate from the existing optical drive and put in on the new drive.

    Examples:
    Sony BD-5730S 6x BD 12.7mm Tray SATA Blu-ray Writer | eBay
    Pioneer BDR-TD01 4X Blu-Ray Burner DVD RW SATA Drive | eBay
    Panasonic UJ-240A SATA Blu Ray Writer - Tray Load | eBay
    Panasonic UJ-240 Blu-Ray writer drive for laptop | eBay
    NEW Pioneer BR-TD01 4X Blu-Ray Burner DVD RW SATA Drive | eBay

    (Disclaimer: I just pull these as examples. I have no idea about the reputation of the sellers. Always use due diligence particularly in ebay!)
