    I've got a Gateway M151XL laptop, and would like to swap the DVDRW drive for a Bluray. I have a slot-loader now, which I do not like, so I think I'd prefer the tray style UJ220 over the slot loader UJ225 Bluray drive. Anyone comment about these fit well and/or work well or not? Is a 2.4GHz T8300 (Core2 Duo) fast enough for movies, or would this be a data only thing? I'd be Ok with that for backing up things, I'm currently sorting out how to fit a 1TB hard drive in there, so data only would be OK too. (This 1TB drive is slightly thicker than old drive, but may be able to cut out plastic panel a bit to make room)
