CD and DVD Writers Discuss, Replacement DVD writer for Inspiron 9200 laptop at Computer Hardware forum; I have a Sony DW-D56A DVD writer in my Dell Inspiron 9200laptop and thinking of replacing it because it does not write reliably. I have narrowed down the selection to NEC ND-6750 and Sony DW-Q520A. Which of these drive is better? Will both of these work with Inspiron 9200 laptop

Which of these drive is better? Will both of these work with Inspiron 9200 laptop or do I have to do something about master/slave connections?

Yes i just fixed my issue with the master slave. And it works great burns at 8x and wrote a whole dvd in 12mins.

If you're getting it as a fixed bay internal and you get the error 'optical drive not found / hard drive not found' when you have it plugged in then its because the drive is most likely set to master. The way i solved it is in the thread:

When i had the drive in the modular bay though it didnt have any problems.

Good luck!
