Would this work with an optical drive?
I have a need for a USB optical drive now, and I really don't want to pay $50 to get a USB drive. This thing is only $20.99, and I have an extra optical drive in my computer that I could use as an external. I just need to know if it will work with DVD drives as opposed to HDDs.

Re: IDE/SATA to USB converter question.
You'd have to power the drive somehow. Datawise it would work, but you'd need to power from the PSU or whatever.

That's no problem. I guess I will get it!
