Unlike with HDDs and SSDs, things are a lot less standardized with disc drives (disc spelled with a "c" refers to CD/DVD/BD drives). Looking at the pictures of your disc drive, it appears to use the more recent (and very common)
SATA slimline connector. It appears that your laptop uses a 12.7mm disc drive, which is the larger size. A 9.5mm disc drive would be loose, but you could probably shim it to fit snugly OK.
As long as the drive you're buying uses the slimline SATA connector, it should work. Unfortunately, the interface is frequently not specified, but if you can see a picture that shows the back of the drive, the connector should match
the picture shown on Wikipedia. Here is a page that shows the
two most common interface styles side by side (the SATA one is compatible, the PATA one is not).
However, with a non-OEM/compatible part, the bezel in the front most likely will not match your laptop's shape, and may even not fit. Many even come without a bezel or mounting accessories at all. Usually you can remove these parts from your current
drive and put them on the new drive. Is there any chance that your local HP agent could get an official (compatible) BluRay drive for you? If not, I found several results on eBay that should work using the search term "dv6-6000 blu ray". Remember to keep
your search terms as short as possible! When searching for the compatible part number you listed above, a search for "665329-001" returned several results (although none shipping to Yemen).
Thank you so much indeed,
First: I really was told by
HP Forum member that My HP laptop can support installing BlueRay, and he told me that this part number( 665329-001 ) of BlueRay
drive should be compatible with my laptop. Also, that user suggested for me this link 'HERE'
However, as long as that site 'mydvddrives.com'is not 98% positive feedback. and doesn't have money refund guarantee. Also, since I don't find internal BlueRay drive in my own HP agent in Yemen. Thus, I had to look for
'TheHP-Compaq 665329-001 SATA Blu-ray BD-R/RE Drive, ' in ebay.com. But, zero
results resulted in researching, although there are some other ones. I think that my search with
TheHP-Compaq 665329-001 SATA Blu-ray BD-R/RE Drive is correct as long as that part number was sugggested by that HP agent.
Moreover, When looking for 'HP-Compaq 665329-001 SATA Blu-ray BD-R/RE Drive' at amazon.com, I found
HIGHDING SATA Blu-ray BD-R/RE Drive
Burner Writer Replacement for HP-Compaq 595761-001/665329-001/599538-001 . However, there is
HIGHDING in the name of blueray, which I don't know what is?
However, I, myself, don't know if any BlueRay drive, other than that its part number is
665329-001 can be working/compatible with my laptop or there is a specific part number of BlueRay must be purchased in order to work on my laptop well.
Thus, could you please let me know if any BlueRay other than that one**The****HP-Compaq 665329-001 SATA Blu-ray BD-R/RE Drive** can be compatible with my laptop or not??
Second: that TheHP-Compaq 665329-001 SATA Blu-ray BD-R/RE Drive drive was suggested doesn't have lightscribe feature. If I will
find LightScribe SuperMulti BlueRay, it would be much better??

But, if you have a look the features of that http://www.mydvddrives.com/replacement-for-hp-compaq-665329-001-sata-blu-ray-bd-rre-drive-84047, you will that it is **12.7 mm height internal slim BD-RE Writer.**I contacted the sales at mydvddrives.com, and they told:

Honestly, I don't know how all this works in your country. I can only relate to how it works here, and use that to help you enter the information you already know into eBay's US-styled address fields. You would probably get better answers asking perhaps your
Yemeni Post people, and the people at your local HP agent who know how to ship stuff to you.
In Yemen, there is only one kind of personal numbers that normally go in the address line, which is renting a slot at the post office, called a post office box (P.O. Box). I, myself, don't have any P.O.Box). However, there is a Post Office in my city. Also, some friend of mine has it. However, I don't want to use his P.O.Box)
Let me say if you hadn't have a mailbox , and you hadn't rented a slot at the post office, called a post office box (P.O. Box), and you had purchased a product would be sent/shipped for you from the UK, China or any other country,
where would you pick up your order when received/delivered in your city, the US? You only wrote your name and city, and country, and your phone number in the delivery address. So, I don't think that your order
will be sent to the post office of your city since you don't have a slot at the post office, and you don't have a mailbox to which your order will be sent?
Buyer's product purchased without writing/providing P.O.Box or mailbox, I think, will be lost
I hope you understand me.
