Yes, it's replaceable. The default unit is a DSL-710A, and is a normal DVD drive similar to what you would find in a computer. A few screws, the power cable, and the IDE cable, and you're done.

M's firmware has to recognize the device, so even though it's a normal DVD drive, you can't assume any DVD-ROM will work.

That said, M is awesome about simple repairs like this, as Gianni mentioned.
