G750 DVD Drive replacement

Sorry I didnt use the right search terms!

Ive now found a few products, SO allow me to use this thread to instead, list my findings, experience, and ask others opinions and experience 🙂

I found this one that is 'designed' for the g750, however $40 is a bit steep if you ask me, considering you can get this one for $24!
Im pretty confident in my thought that DVD drives must work the same in terms of the removable bezel.

Does anyone know the G750's SATA controller's max HDD limit ??
Would I be able to connect a 1.5TB or even 2TB drive into all three SATA ports ? (built in two and DVD bay caddy)

On the other hand, Would I be able to replace the DVD drive with one such as this blue ray one, replacing the bezel, and it would work fine??

Forgive me for these silly questions!!
Im not familiar with the limits of laptops as ive always used a desktop and this is only my third laptop 😧

Thanks for your input!

Hey again guys and gals!
This time my question is abou the internal DVD drive that came with my laptop c:
I hate it! The quality feels so terrible I feel like its going to eject itself out some day 😧
So I have done a little looking around, and do you know if ill be able to remove the bezel from the included drive, and reattatch it to a different drive?? probably a blue ray one?
or even better, one of these hard drive caddy things! http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Universal-Laptop-2nd-Hard-Drive-DVD-Bay-Caddy-9-5mm-IDE-to-SATA-for-TOSHI...

But i want it to be a at least near flush fit 😕

Anybody else had any success in this area ?

Hi, G750 only have tested 1TB HDD, so can't ensure 1.5TB or larger HDD can be used.
You can replace the Blue-ray DVD.

Thanks for that Davy c:
Do you know if its a standard 12.7mm bay ???
And in theory should it support 1.5TB ?
