External ODD caddy?

Spec-Chum · 2 Apr 2016 at 17:58

Considering how long I've been using and building PC's I feel a bit stupid for asking this but I'm thinking of getting a case (NZXT H440) which doesn't had a optical drive bay.

It is very rare I use my Blu-ray drive but I do use it, is there an external way to connect this, like a caddy?

Obviously I could just get another case with a drive bay, but I really, really, like the red and black H440.

you can get both full size and laptop size caddies, or certainly could

the laptop style ones often need 2, full power usb ports to power the drive, and the tray will be manual, as in a laptop too.

Theres an ANKER usb3 to sata adapter you can get from a famous rainforrest site for around £20, you will need a free wall power socket and it works with HDD's and blueray players fine,, i use one.
