Which models of set top DVD recorders use a PC style DVD drive such as the Liteon 5005/6?
For example I own a Liteon lvw-5115 which is a newer model than the Liteon 5005 or 5006. When the drive crapped out on the 5005, changing the drive was a breeze, with a few simple alterations, and it would be a better drive anyway....
When I opened up my Liteon 5115, the dvd drive was a totally different drive than the IDE drive from the 5005,much thinner body, but not a laptop drive either.It had neither an IDE power source or SATA.
So I was curious which other models or brands use a PC style drive wheich then makes it user replaceable?? Any ideas?
