Connecting dvd drive using usb

[ComputerNewbie97]

Hi, just wondering if I could connect a internal desktop dvd drive (SATA) to a laptop using usb, like a SATA to usb converter and then use that as a dvd drive.

PS:This is my first post+I'm only 12 and I've never worked with a desktop in my life only laptops.

Yes you can -- though an external drive case might be a more robust solution.

thanks, I've already found a external case to buy so it's all good
