Comment on Using DVD slot for second 3.5" drive?

If you mean a 2.5" drive (laptop sized) then yes you can generally do that. 3.5" drives are usually 1" thick and won’t fit in a slim DVD drive slot.

This isn’t about a laptop, but a full desktop case with 5.25" slots. 3.5" fit fine into these with a different kind of adapter.

Oh I see. Yeah DVD drives generally use the same SATA interface as hard drives.

They MAY use the little baby SATA connectors. I’d check first.
