    Hello,

    I have laptop computer Toshiba Satellite P205-S6307.

    In last few months my DVD drive can't read any disc types and I want to change it.

    The model is Pioneer DVD-RW DVR K17LF ATA Device.

    Can you tell me some compatible devices which I can buy?

    Thanks for your help!

    I can't find the specs of that burner, but they are standard units that come with 3 thicknesses (12.5mm, 9.5mm and 7mm). You can measure yours to check.

    See this thread for guidance on doing a swap.
