HP Recommended
Product: Pavillion P590-0066
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Can the included Optical (DVD/CD) drive in the Pavillion P590-0066 (on this model the tray spits out vertically, not horizontally) be taken out and replaced with a BluRay drive instead? Or can it not be replaced? I'd like to have a BluRay writer, and would rather have an internal one than an external one.

 

I've seen posts about adding hard drives, but nothing about the included optical drive.

Can it be taken out and replaced with an aftermarket internal BluRay writer (such as by LG, Asus, Pioneer, etc) or no?

 

And if so... what's the connection type (SATA? etc)

 

Haven't opened up the case yet (just bought it, waiting for it to arrive) and just wondering if it's at all possible to replace the current, included CD/DVD drive with a bluray drive instead.

 

Thank you!
