Answer» Hello
I need to replace my CD/DVD drive amd I am not sure which type or model I need.
I have a Packard Bell PC iMedia D2525 UK and in my Win 10 Device Manager, under DVD/CD-ROM drives, I can see:
HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GHDON ATA Device.
Thank you for any help.
RegardsHi
You can use any SATA DVD drive in your Packard Bell here is one which will work https://www.amazon.co.uk/DRW-24D5MT-Internal-Optical-Vertical-Horizontal/dp/B074QTVY4Q/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=sata+dvd+drive&qid=1575833995&s=computers&sr=1-7
All PC's use a standard type of optical drive nowadays (SATA). Your concerns should only need to be standard or slimline & what functions you want. I.e blu-ray, disc writing/rewriting, etc.
Why do you need to replace the existing drive?Many thanks, Lisa - just what the doctor ordered.
Thanks, too, Accessless. I need a replacement because sometimes I can watch normally bought DVDs and other times I can't. Also, when I am burning home VIDEOS to DVD, the drive struggles - I can hear the disc whirring around in the drive and the light flashes on and off whereas it should remain stable while burning. It wasn't always LIKE this, but I can tell it is flagging. It's about 3-4 years OLD and in constant use.
Thanks again.
