Hi I was just wondering how I would go about adding an internal DVD player to my Aspire E5-575G-728Q. I was wondering if there is a slot for it or would I have to remove my 256GB SSD to add the optical drive? Also if it's not too much to ask, I'd like to know what part numbers I would need for the optical drive, bracket, and bezel that would fit my laptop. Thanks in advance!

Hello,
If you remove the dummy ODD (black plastic part), do you see a SATA connector in the bottom of the housing?

Okay. Here are the needed parts (bezel+one DVD drive):
SpoilerPart number Description 42.GDZN7.001 ODD.BEZEL.W/BUTTON/LED.BLACK KO.0080D.019 DVD/R/RW.SMULTI.9MM.TRAY.8X.W/O.BEZEL (Hitachi Lg Data Storage) KO.0080F.008 DVD/R/RW.SMULTI.9MM.TRAY.8X.W/O.BEZEL (Philips Lite-on Digital Solutions) KO.0080F.011 DVD/R/RW.SMULTI.9MM.TRAY.8X.W/O.BEZEL (Philips Lite-on Digital Solutions) KO.0080F.013 DVD/R/RW.SMULTI.9MM.TRAY.8X.W/O.BEZEL (Philips Lite-on Digital Solutions) You'll be able to reuse the bracket and screw(s) of the dummy ODD tray and to buy the parts from this reseller.

Thank you so much! I see you listed 4 different drives, do you recommend one in particular? Or are they the same just different price points?

Hello,
You're welcome. These are similar models so you can buy the cheapest drive. Just for information, the list shows the models from the oldest to the newest. Personally, I'm a LG fan but it's only my opinion.

I am trying to install a Blu Ray drive in my own 728Q, but am having a hard time finding any 9.0mm ones available for purchase in the US. Do the 9.5 mm drives fit/work, by chance? Or alternatively, if you know where I can buy a UJ273 in the US, that would also be helpful. Thanks!
