HP Pavillion T335 UK drive bays

Hi there,

My HP Pavillion desktop has a cd-rw drive and a dvd-rom drive. I'd
like to replace the dvd-rom with a dvd-rw.

The case is different to normal desktop pcs as it has spring loaded
flaps over the front of each drive bay.

Can I replace the dvd-rom with a standard dvd-rw drive or does it have
to be designed to work with this type of case?

Many thanks

Andrew

The biggest issue may be the location of the eject button, but those are
fairly standard.

The drive behind that flap is a standard optical drive.

You should have little or no trouble with replacing the drive.
