It's best to replace with the brand you have.

Model iMac Intel Model with a Pioneer Drive already fitted. May not fit properly if HL, Panasonic or Sony Drive already fitted in your iMac as drive bezel / mounting plastic will be different from a Sony one. The bezel can be made to fit any drive by cutting off 2 dimples of plastic on the back edge of the bezel though.

Mine is The Pioneer DVR-TS08PB Apple Part# 678-0573C

also listed are:

Manufacturers ID: Sony AD-5670S 678-0575E Pioneer DVR-TS08PA 678-0573

You don't have to open it. Go under the Apple in the upper left hand corner to "about this Mac". Click on "more info" > Hardware > ATA. This should give you a description of the optical drive.
