DVD/CD-ROM drive

[High1]

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.

Regards

Hi

You can use any SATA DVD drive in your Packard Bell here is one which will work

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.
