    Not using it already, but I don't think there's any reason it shouldn't work given that it uses the same optical drive connector as your current optical drive. You might need to remove that little bracket at the back and secure the whole thing some other way, but compatibility shouldn't be an issue... a lot of people have done these kind of things to other machines.
