Question 1

Will this fit an Optiplex 760 (small form factor Dell)?

Accepted Answer

I bought this one for Acer Aspire V-3-572G-543S but it did not fit due to the height of the player.  You should check with Dell to make sure that the player fits with the Optiplex 760.

Question 2

Can I install two LITE-ON DS-*ACSH-01 into a full height slot in a 5.25" drive bay? If I can not, is there some type of face plate to fill in the full face of he case?

Accepted Answer

While the bay is large enough to accommodate 2, or even 3 laptop optical drives, it is not practical without a proper adapter - the bay is nearly an inch wider than the drives.  There are a number of adapters available to mount one OD plus various HD combos, but I've not seen one for two ODs.  Note also that the power connector is smaller than other drives and also needs an adapter for desktop installs.  Lastly, the OD needs tiny metric sized mounting screws, typically M2x3mm. I have never seen these included in the screw packs that come with motherboards.

Question 3

The front bezel appears to be slightly higher than the metal case.  Is the 0.5" thickness the bezel or the metal case height?  Looking for the case height.

Can this unit function in a vertical position?

Accepted Answer

This drive is the standard thin drive size. It will fit any thin drive bay vertical or horizontal. In addition the drive features a retention head that will secure the CD when a disk is inserted in the drive vertically.

Question 4

hp 15 laptop 6gb ram i3-4030u 1.90ghz 64 bit operating system my dvd drive went out it a really skinny disk drive will this fit in disk slot?

Accepted Answer

If your drive doesn't have a ledge on the bottom (think L shaped), No this will not work as it's much thicker than the slim drives.
