Don't know about ebay, but checking the specs on the drive makers web
site will usually tell you.

FYI the dimensions of an Asus DRW-24D5MT DVD Re-Writer, SATA, 24x are
listed as 146 x 170 x 41 mm - (WxDxH). I usually pay about a tenner
for those. They also rip audio very quickly - typically doing a whole
CD in under 3 mins.

Oops, missed the bit about being IDE...

I have a LG CD/RW model CGE 8527B from c. 2005 you can have if you want.
Its 170mm deep.

Not certain a R/W drive would work with the inbuilt software driver? I've
no idea how old the unit is.
