These portable enclosures are the perfect solution for repurposing an old laptop optical drive, turning it into an external USB device.

Main Types and Compatibility

Before purchasing, it is critical to measure the thickness of your internal drive, as enclosures are available in two main standards:

9.5 mm (Ultra Slim): Suitable for drives from more modern and slim ultrabooks.

12.7 mm: Standard for older or larger business laptops.

Universal models: Some enclosures support both sizes via adjustable internal rails.

Technical Specifications

Interface: USB 2.0 variants (up to 480 Mbps),

Plug & Play: Works without the need for additional drivers on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Power: Powered directly from the USB port. Some models include an additional "Y" power cable for use with older, lower-amp ports.

Extras: Many models feature a built-in cable that retracts into the bottom of the enclosure for easier portability.
