If my xbox one is reading Bluray disc(xbox one games/ Bluray movies), but for DVD it work sometimes, sometimes it wont (xbox 360 games/ DVD), should i replace the whole bluray drive or this Optical drive laser?
I would start with this repair. A faulty laser sounds like a very likely source for your issue. If it doesn't work you have a problem with the drive board.
Replacing the entire drive would require you to replace the main motherboard of the Xbox with one from the same console that the replacement drive came from because they are linked as an anti-piracy measure. At that point you're better off replacing the entire console.
