Predator 17 G9-793-78CM BluRay upgrade.

Hello All,

 

I am looking to upgrade the dvd drive that came with my laptop to  a bluray drive. I know acer uses the following drive from this discussion, http://community.acer.com/t5/Predator-Laptops/Predator-17-BluRay-drive-model-number/m-p/450477#M1391 , and I am looking for places to purchase a compatible drive. (I noticed one of the examples that is mentioned in that discussion is a 9.5 mm drive, and if the model number of Acer's default drive is accurate, G9-791 BD RW PANASONIC BD RW 9.0mm Tray 6X UJ272QBAA2-B LF+HF W/O bezel SATA KO.00607.010, claims a 9mm drive. Would the drive linked there work? or how about this one?  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIAAMU46K1778&cm_re=internal_laptop_blu-ray-_-9SIAAMU46K1778-_-Product

 

Thanks in advance and let me know if there is any other info you would need.

 

EDIT managed to find out from acer the part # of my existing drive is K0.0080D.019
