    Regretfully, I did not purchase the Blu Ray upgrade when I ordered my notebook and now would like to shop around for an internal drive. Is it possible to use any internal SATA laptop drive by changing the bezel or are we limited to the drives fitted for the specific Clevo model?

    Any standard slim 12.7mm drive will work. There isn't a proprietary version for Clevo laptops. Just swap the bezel from your old drive to the new one.
