I'd like to upgrade my T22 to a CDRW/DVD drive. I figure on eBay I can get an OEM Toshiba or NEC or similar drive that will fit for a lot less than a branded IBM drive, but don't know how to identify what would fit. I'm willing to modify the faceplate for a fit in the ultrabay.
Any tips?
Thanks

The branded IBM drives are usually Toshiba drives and are going for $80 on eBay which isn't a bad deal... How much are you looking to spend?Nolonemo wrote:I'd like to upgrade my T22 to a CDRW/DVD drive.

Actually, I've been following ebay for a week or so, and it looks like you can't do much better with than the IBM drives anyway, so might as well get a drive that has all the right bezels etc on it.AbsoluteRaleigh wrote: The branded IBM drives are usually Toshiba drives and are going for $80 on eBay which isn't a bad deal...

I really only want to spend $50, but it looks like that won't get the job done (unless I'm really really really patient)
