The one that is fitted to the W700/W701 thinkpad will work on this machine.

I would pick one that's not specifically made for ThinkPads...(i.e. you spend your money on something that can be used on other computers, and easier to sell should you decide to upgrade to a faster burner in the future.)

 

Look for the LG or Pioneer USB 2 external BluRay writers, if you don't mind them being external.
