Replace Notebook DVD Drive - HP DT80N

[seamusoldfield]

Hi all, I recently purchased a used Elitebook 8570p - great machine. To my surprise, when I went to burn a CD, I found out the installed DVD ROM is a reader, not a writer. I didn't even know those existed anymore... Model is HP DVD ROM DT80N. 

I've never replaced a DVD drive, but I do feel comfortable making the swap. However, I am having trouble determining what drive will fit and match the look of the notebook.

Any suggestions and/or help would be greatly appreciated - thanks!
