So I use this USB to Sata + Power converter to hook up drives to my laptop like so.
It works for hard drives but not cd drives. I would like to be able to hot swap the same drive between a desktop and laptop.
Is there one for CD drives so it can be hot swapped between sata and usb?
It appears that this isn't possible. So I tested the device I bought below and it doesn't work with cd drives. I am not sure why.
This appears to work but only works on the laptop cd drives. Which means the power would be a problem on a desktop computer.
