Posted March 29, 2016 hi so i was going through my school's edump today and pulled out a very old 17.3in laptop and i managed to salvage the ram and this optical drive from the machine. so i was wondering if they even sell an enclosure for this dvd drive or is this some proprietary bullshit interface that the manufacture made to work with just that laptop. Since the interface is not SATA im assuming that its some IDE or proprietary drive. hopefully they do sell some sort of adapter or enclosure for it. can you guys help me out on this. ive never seen that sort of interface in my life ever. the computer technician at frys says that this is proprietary and there no such thing as an adapter or enclosure for it. but i dont believe him so i am asking you guys if this is true or not.
