Something like this should work: https://www.amazon.com/Syba-Adapter-Optical-Drive-Components/dp/B0081IOSOW

 

You may need an adapter cable like this one too: https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Slimline-SATA-Adapter-Power/dp/B009JXKQ9O/ref=m_pd_aw_sim_sccl_1/133-8690134-4267223?pd_rd_w=NozHi&content-id=amzn1.sym.ab892632-7199-44ab-af68-cc822d588fe0&pf_rd_p=ab892632-7199-44ab-af68-cc822d588fe0&pf_rd_r=RPQB6P270VXH5QJJNCBP&pd_rd_wg=iQxaz&pd_rd_r=1d8b57f4-9f04-4fa1-8e46-b60213363b2a&pd_rd_i=B009JXKQ9O&psc=1

I have a really old Sony Vaio with a bluray drive, I was thinking about repurposing that perfectly functioning drive to use elsewhere in a media PC.

Neat! If I got it right, this one supports the optical drive and a 2,5" hdd/ssd under it?
