If you go to the Apple icon in the finder menu and select 'About This Mac" you'll find a button "More Info" which will launch the system profiler app Profiler. Within it look up your optical player under 'Disk Burning' Do you have a ATAPI (PATA/IDE) unit or a ATA unit? I suspect you have a ATAPI (PATA/IDE) unit so you need a unit that converts SATA to PATA (SATA HD).
iFixIt also offers a SATA to PATA unit which is known to fit the MacBook Pros.
I'm not sure if unit you have a link for will work as its marked for a Compaq not MacBook Pro. The other link offers a SATA to SATA unit and is listed for a MacBook Pro, which I don't think is what you need here.
