Product: HP ZBook 17 G6 Mobile Workstation

Laptop currently has a slot filler where an optical drive mounts.  Would like to replace this with a cd/dvd writer (optical drive). However, I could only find the part number for the blu ray drive which is more than i wanted to spend right now.  Does anyone know the part number for the non-blu ray writer that fits the ZBook 17 G6?

I did see that it is a 9mm drive.

Thanks for your reply! I saw that number too and when I searched on it I got very few hits and all were advertising a blu ray drive. I did find a guy in the UK that has both the blu ray and standard drives but neither come with the bezel on the front. I asked him about a part number and he either couldn't or wouldn't share that info as he said "we don't go by part numbers."

At first I thought that maybe HP only used blu ray drives in the G6 but when I looked at other ZBook 17 G6 units for sale nearly all of them had the standard drive...
