i notice that UJ-812 has the dimension of 128W x 129 D x 9.5 H.  if you look here, http://www.panasonic.com/industrial/computer/storage/multi/ , the rest of the drive have H about 12.7 mm

so i assume, if there are other drive that fits this exact dimension, maybe it’s possible to use it in TR?  has anyone know of other drive besides matsushita ?

i m currently searching for alternative DVD-RW by just looking at the dimension.  if others are found, not only that this drive will fit TR, but it will fit S as well.  :shock:

what do u think?

keep in mind the dimensions may be the same but the bezel may not fit. i have the uj811 as well as the uj812 and the part where the bezel mounts to the drive are completely different. it won’t be a flawless install thats for sure. if you don’t care about the cosmetics..then i don’t see why it wouldn’t work.

Here’s the PDF of UJ-811 and UJ-812

UJ-811 can work on TR but the dimension is the problem

i had the uj-811 and i can verify that the tr bezel will NOT fit it.

this one fit great!
 

i think he meant internal..
i would of probably went with the DRU-700A as well if i have not already done the internal dvd-rw upgrade..

i’ll just wait until there is a new DVD+/- RW that can fit TR or S, then i’ll buy one and upgrade my LAN card to intel a/b/g at the same time…
