Q: Internal Blu-Ray drive
I've been using an external LG Blu-Ray burner for some time, and thought I'd risk fitting an internal version in my spare optical bay. However the leads seem to be thoroughly incompatible. Is there some kind of conversion lead available or am I barking up the wrong tree altogether. In case it helps, the drive is: LGCH08LS10BARE LG CH08LS10 8x Internal BD-ROM / DVD Rewriter Combo SATA (OEM)

Hi Rob, the Internal Optical uses the old ATA/IDE/PATA connectors, Blu-Ray Drives are all SATA I believe, you need...
