Frequently asked questions about Optical drives
- I have a DVD-burner in my Notebook, can I exchange it for a Blu-Ray burner?
This is technically possible, although there are a few things you need to consider.
First your DVD drive needs to be connected via SATA and not PATA, because that is what all Blu-Ray drives use. Second you should test, whether your system meets the requirements of playing a Blu-Ray with a tool like BD & 3D Advisor by Cyberlink.
- What does GBAS stand for?
Optical drive manufacturers used o use different types of bezels for their drives, which made it hard wo find one for your drive. That is why the “General Bezel Assembling Standard” has been created, now most bezels should fit on most optical drives.
- What optical can be installed in my Notebook?
Which optical drive can be installed in your Notebook depends on three factors
Which connection type is used? (SATA or PATA)
What height of optical drive is used? (Slim 12,5mm or SuperSlim 9,5mm)
Does your laptop meet the System requirements?
SATA drives can not be used with a PATA controller and vice versa.
Before installing your new optical drive, make sure you attached the mounting bracket from the old drive to the new one.
Most optical drives are sold without a bezel, make sure you attach the old one to the new drive.
With the tool BD & 3D Advisor you can check whether your System has enough performance to play Blu-Rays.
