Blu Ray drive for 2012 Macbook - possible to fit?

[gjbrunsdon]

Would like to exchange the DVD drive in my Macbook for a blu ray drive and wondered if this is possible.

My Macbook is a mid 2012 model, MD101LL/A, A1278. MacBook Pro "Core i5

Any advice would be really appreciated...

It's doable, but expensive, in my opinion.
