    Just like the title says, is the Matsua UJ-225 the only BD drive that will fit in XPS1530?

    I would assume any slim slot drive would work assuming it has the right connector. Not sure where you would purchase one though.

    I have been able to find a few DVD Burners that are slot load IDE but no luck with the Blu-Ray. 12.7mm seems pretty standard. Did yours die? Just curious.
