This replacement works good and was easy to replace. You have to remove the rear bracket and front face plate from the old and install on the new. Taking pictures of the rear bracket from several angles before removing will save some frustration.

Initially, my Windows 10 PC wouldn't recognize the new drive as a "CD/DVR" drive, giving me a "E: \ The directory name is invalid" error when I inserted a CD.

Drive works wonderfully. Thanks much

Perfect fit and replacement for old drive
