Please suggest on USB Optical Drives for u460

Just ordered a U460 this morning and I'm looking to buy an external USB powered optical DVD writer. My question is, do I have to buy only the Lenovo brand or any other brand would work with him?

I personally liked the HP USB DVD Burner, sleek and stylish, but I don't know if this works with U460. In addition, it is less expensive than the lenovo product. Will it work with my U460?

Please answer my questions. Thanks in advance.

no need to buy only the lenovo brand, feel free to buy the dvd hp usb or any other dvd rom usb burner, it will work with your computer.

    Do you know if I can replace the drive for a DVD burner? And if yes - which model?

    Hi Piotr,

    You can replace your new CD burner with vurtually any DVD burner that is the same physical size, but you should make sure that the new Recorder has a set-up similar to your current drive configuration.

    In general, the reader will be configured as Master, Slave and Cable Select (Csel), by the manufacturer and must match the configuration of your current player. One of the tools of Nero will show you the current drive configuration.

    Unfortunately, most retailers do not show configuration and with slim-line readers, there is no DIP switch that allows you to change it.

    Kind regards

  • Need help finding a compatible optical drive for lenovo b50-80

    I ordered recently the b50-80 of lenovo laptop for my mother and I thought wrongly that it came with an optical drive. I tried searching online to see who can be compatible with it. But, I don't have a lot of experience actually shopping for one. The seller has recommended a couple, but I was also wondering if one of my old laptop drives would fit maybe? Focusing on internal versus external. All advice is appreciated!

    Hello.

    Welcome to the forums.

    If you want an external optical drive (CD/DVD/Bluray player) I'm pretty sure that any USB key will be compatible with your computer and Windows 7.

    I also checked onthe support for this model siteand searched the Manual of Maintenance to find an internal version of the DVD. I'm not complete of course know if, but if you check page 71 the #12 part seems to be the internal CD/DVD. It seems that FRU 25215832 is compatible with the B50-80. You should ask the price of this part (FRU) number and please confirm that this is the guy you want.

    And read the Maintenance Manual page #34 if you plan to install it yourself. Otherwise, you can always hire your local Service Center of Lenovo to get the part and install it for you.

  • HP Pavilion 15-e073ca: 2nd HARD drive cart, replace the optical drive for HP Pavilion e073ca 15 Notebook PC &amp; Windows 10

    Hello!

    I intend to add an SSD in my two years 15-e073ca HP Pavilion Notebook PC. I found some sites that I can remove the optical drive and put a second drive using a caddy adapter in the optical drive Bay. I found that some people on the forum did it successfully, but nothing on my PC model. I want to know if he could work with my product.

    In other words, there is my plan:

    1 remove the real disk HDD hard bay and replace it with the new SSD.

    2. remove the optical drive and replace it with the adapter caddy containing my old HDD.

    3. do a clean install of Windows 10 on the SSD, using a recovery USB stick made with my system Windows 10 real (which has been updated from Windows 8.1).

    I plan to purchase the following parts:

    1 - a HDD / SSD cart adapter for HP Pavilion 15 (model OBHD9-SATA-SATA-BU9), of NewmodeUS (http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_5&products_id=583)

    2 - a SSD 128 GB (article SDSSDHP - 128G), SanDisk (http://www.sandisk.com/products/ssd/sata/ultra-plus/?capacity=128gb)

    I have a few questions before I buy parts:

    1 - the two drives (my old HDD and the new SSD) are recognized by the motherboard / BIOS and the operating system (Windows, 10)? Is there a limit to a unique HARD/SSD disk drive on the computer?

    2 - the height of the SSD is 7mm, and it seems that my old HDD is 9.5 mm in height (model WDC WD10JPVT-60A1YT0). It would cause no problem (I need to add spacers)?

    3 - these parts work together and with my computer (size, compatibility)? You can expect any problems with this upgrade?

    4 - clean install Windows 10 quote, because I intend to install it on a different drive than the one I used to create the key USB recovery flash? I have never done a clean install of Windows before.

    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    Haghe

    Your plan is perfect. The SSD to will of 7 mm that always come back fine it just will be lower in the caddy. The holes and SATA connections are in the same place as a hard drive of 9.5 mm. You can use a spacer (many SSD include one in the box) but not really necessary.

    Installing SSD for Windows 10 the way you expect is not really "own", that he will again introduce files and programs, in my opinion and certainly drivers. Whatever it is, it works perfectly and activates the old installation has been enabled.

    The hard disk in the optical adapter will not be bootable and will transfer the data a bit slower than a drive in the main compartment, but will still be usable for most cases. If you need fast input/output like Photoshop or video editing move the job file to the first SSD. Alternatively, you may wish to consider documents and photos and other migration on the HARD drive to keep the 128 GB SSD to fill. You can right-click on these files and select 'place' and move them. After the back if you need some help with that.

    Enjoy.

    Dell Latitude 10 ST2e compressed can not boot from an external optical drive USB (CD/DVD)

    The BIOS has no setting for it. It will boot from a flash drive. I would like to boot from my CD of 2013 Acronis Recovery Console.  Anyone have any success to boot from a CD/DVD USB drive?

    Yes, there is a way to do this.

  • Optical drive for Satellite P10 554

    Hello!

    I need to replace the DVD burner for my SP10-554 (PSP10E-00NK5-GR model number). Which drives should I use?
    I don't have a DVD burner, a CD burner will do for everyday...

    Thanks for your replies!

    Martin

    HI Martin,

    If you replace your CD player because of an error, then it is probably better to replace it with a similar model. This way you can be assured that it will be fully compatible.

    However, you can replace your optical drive with a variety of other brands as long that you choose one that is specifically for portable use. These are usually referred to as 'slim' or 'slimline '. You may find that some components, such as the collar do not exactly match your laptop.

    Drivers tend to be fairly generic Windows XP, but you may need to download additional drivers if you want to use DVD-RAM discs.

    Toshiba to adapt different brands in their notebooks (Mat * a, TEAC, Toshiba, etc) then you a reasonable range from which to choose.

    Try Googling for the appropriate players. Prices vary slightly.

  • External USB floppy drive for Satellite Pro M70

    I just bought a Satellite Pro M70 Centrino Mobile 750 to replace my Satellite 5105 - S702, which exposes the same type of problems of corruption/crash video display described elsewhere in these forums.

    I need an external floppy drive, and the site of the Toshiba shop specifies an external USB Floppy Drive Ref. PA3109E-3FDD.

    However, I have an external drive USB Floppy, Réf. PA3109U-1FDD, I bought for the satellite 5105-S702 about 4 years ago.

    5105-S702 has USB 1.1 ports and satellite Pro M70 has USB2 ports.

    Issues related to the:

    PA3109U-1FDD will work with the satellite Pro M70?

    There are likely to be problems of compatibility, driver issues or any probability/possibility of damage to the Sat ProM70?

    Would appreciate any advice.

    Thank you

    AlanCB

    Hi Alan

    I really don? t know why you ask if the floppy drive will not work. Why you don? t he try? As far as I know, it should work and you should not buy a new one.

    Just for info: a few months ago, I saw the Toshiba FDD drives with part number PX? And these drives are not bootable but on the lower side, there is a label with this information.

    Anyway, you can use your other more ancient. According to the specification tested for MS M70 is FDD Drive Kit PA3109U-1FDD (your one).

    Good luck
