5.25" Enclousure?

[shirokado]

Is there anything for cheap? or some kind of cable to put a 5.25 inch bluray drive into?

Wait what? Is this for a bluray drive? The casing of the drive itself will keep it protected just fine.

It's the connectors though, they will break if you use it externally on a regular basis.

He needs a 5.25" external enclosure so he can take it with him on the go.

Check your local computer store website and search and sort by price.

And yes the one you linked will work, I doubt it will power just via USB though, you might need to use the power brick it comes with to give it more juice.

yea i thought so. i kind of expected because USB 3 clearly didnt give it enough power, so it might work like a 3.5inch mechanical drive. well im gonna order one then thank you for confirming.
