Replacing DVD drive with another one

hello all,

wondering. macbook pro starting surely feel age (late 2008). since apple never wanted , warranty off anyways really love exchange internal dvd drive newer, better working one.

i'm pretty sure theres lot of people having issue of 2/3 of discs not start burning or getting spit out somewhere half way due poor (or shall cheap?) drives used apple. since won't read burned discs no more , display them empty , burnable... uck!

decided upgrade (instead of buying new one) mbp. far i've stuffed in additional ram along ssd drive , next step i'd exchange drive better one.

couldn't find smart or trustworthy on web, thought i'd ask here i'm pretty sure there's lot of people here know they're doing

know there's possibility of getting external drives prefer inside travel lot it. if it's not possible guess it's time replace odd ssd

in advance people that'll take time answer.

cheers,

kd
