If they both run on the same voltages, it should be fine. I heard there are some laser assemblies that need 5v, instead of 3.3v, which most are.

the laser assemblies are all the same. it will work fine.

now does anyone know how to make a DC run without a fan? Its killing me..

Yepper, we got a bunch of smarties here

They are all the same. I have never seen or heard of a 5V drive, but every one I have seen plainly has 3.3V etched into its metal plating. If what he says is true, you might just want to try and find it on the drive, just to be sure.

I actually don't know how true it is. I just read it somewhere.

Perhaps your source was misled. Not all drives state "3.3V" on them, as the one in my dad's DC doesn't, but they are still compatible.

Yeah, I figured that. I didn't know how true it was, and all my drivers have 3.3v on them. I just read somewhere before about a 5v drive, never actually saw one.
