need DVDRW with short case - Club CDFreaks

sanarita · 27-01-2008

My factory built - in DVDRW drive in my Compaq desktop has apparently bit the dust.

The quirk is that the drive case is 3/4' shorter than a normal drive. The total depth is 6 3/4" I have already replaced the CDR drive with one of normal depth, and it is very tight in there. I don't think that I could cram the power wires in back of another drive of normal depth.

So the question is, does anyone know how to locate a shorty DVDRW drive in order to replace the broken one? I'd like to find a decent quality one, though high burn speeds are not a priority.

Thanks!

Liteon DH-20a4p

about 6 & 5/8" depth, $25.99 free shipping and seems to be getting
good reviews. I've got one and it's working fine.

Yep, in my experience, Liteon's are shorter than most drives.

I have a 20A4P & it is shorter than all of my other drives.

Thanks for the advice - I ended up ordering the recommended drive

I liked the price! That was a good tip
