Use internal drive externally without enclosure kit?
Last response: in Storage
Hey. I'm just wondering if you can just use an IDE to USB converter and power supply rather than an "enclosure kit" to turn an internal dvd burner into an external one. I mean, is there any benefit to having the aluminum case around the drive? My only thought was that maybe it would help protect it from static discharge, but would this really be an issue? Thanks.
