HP DVD drive in Toshiba laptop?

[scubaslim]

The DVD drive in my Toshiba Satellite laptop is becoming extremely loud. I found some cheap drives on eBay, but they are HP brand. I'm sure this is a dumb question,but will it work as a replacement?

Hi, it's not a dumb question, what is the model number of your Toshiba?

Sorry it took so long to respond. I never got notified that I had a response. It's a Toshiba Satellite L455

No, the one you link, will not work, the connector is not a SATA, but this one will work : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Toshiba-Satellite-L455-Sata-Laptop-DVD-Drive-faceplate-K000084150-k000084140-/281094366174?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item417287a3de
