Repurposing a DVD drive
Hi there. Have a Sony DVD drive in a desktop computer and would love to use it as an external drive for my laptop as the desktop is now surplus. Is this a good idea and what sort of caddy solution might you suggest?

It depends on what type of connection the dvd drive has e.g. IDE (pata) or sata as to what caddy you could use.
If it has a sata connection you could use a sata to USB caddy or you could get one that handles both types of connnectons

Remember to get a USB adapter with standalone 12V power, disc drives require 12V to power the heavy spindle motor.
