Where to buy cheap 9.5mm DVD writers for Laptop ? The market price is ridiculous

Everywhere is selling 12.7 mm burner, or 0.5 inch

the 9.5mm(0.4 inch) is so hard to find, and even if I found one, it's over a hundred

So, where can I get cheap 9.5mm Dvd burners?

Dont have to be really cheap, but relatively.... not that expensive...

Slimtypes are widely available.

I would recommend drives from LG, NEC/optiarc, Liteon and Pioneer and Toshiba.

It mainly depends on your Laptop (manufacturer & available settings & firmware) on which slimtype drive you could choose.

Which one is it? Can you set master & slave in the BIOS?

Mine is a Thinkpad X61t with dock,

the optical drive is hold on the dock,

IBM called the module type Ultrabay Slim, with is IDE 9.5mm optical drive bay,

and I assume all the IDE 9.5mm optical drives will fit in there

Maybe an LG would fit?

The only source for this type of drive I know is ebay. The drives are manufactured by LG and Matsushita.

That's the Matsushita one: http://www.panasonic-industrial.com/...33/UJ857B.html
