Aspire e5-573-35JQ - replacement optical drive

This exact laptop @ newegg. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=0N6-000D-00046

I need to replace my daughter's optical drive. Spent over an hour and still can't find list of possible replacement parts.
Will any optical drive do?
A search on newegg using 'acer aspire replacement optical drive' yields several for about $10. Will they work, or is the drive proprietary, like my son's gateway optical drive was?
I just want to replace the drive without paying for an over-priced replacement.
I can't find out for sure if any optical drive will work, like it did in my toshiba satellite, or only specific brands/models.

Thanks

Thank you laurent_14. I should have come here first, it would have saved me a few hours. I ordered it. Hope I only have to remove one screw on the outside bottom and switch the drives out. Anything else I should know? It was years ago when I replaced son's gateway drive and my toshiba drive. Don't recall exactly what I did, but it couldn't have been too difficult.

Hello,

You're welcome

. You'll have to follow the instructions stated in the attachments to remove/disassembly the optical drive and parts. To assembly and insert the unit doing the reverse operations.

Third image, steps 6 & 7, odd bracket ? Remove screws? Please elaborate. If I recall, last time, I switched bezel then just gently pushed new drive into slot, the connectors connected and I replaced screw holding unit in. Don't recall removing any screws.
