Hi,i got my T60 a few weeks ago.It came with stock LG-Hitachi combo optical drive ( cd burner/dvd rom ) ,huh,it's kind of disappoined ,ain't it ?
Is there any oem/retail slim dvd burner that will fit T60 optical drive bay?
Some slim dvd burners are available at newegg.com , for isntance NEC ND-6650/6750A or LG GWA-4082N and more Sony, NU, Pioneer brand .
I don't wana purchase slim dvd burner for T60 from Lenovo cos it's kind of pricey and it's hard to find one sold seperately.
Thanks in advance.

Only the Matshita super slim drives will fit, the UJ-8XXs. They are 9.5mm in height whereas other notebook drives like the NEC or LG are 12.7mm in height. Kinda sucks because they are not the best drives and are expensive. You can only get them from Lenovo and occasionally on eBay.

The ThinkPad Ultrabay Enhanced Drive CD/DVD Multiburner (part #40Y8624) is $99 + tax currently in canada on the website for the family & friends program. If you cant get it there, then PM me if you're willing to pay me to order/send it for you. Canada only.
