Found this old DVD driver in the garage that looks like it was from a laptop. I’d like to use it, but I don’t know what port is that.

I thought it was SATA, but it’s a little bit more taller and narrow, maybe an old revision? Or is it HP proprietary?

Any help is appreciated!

    Thank you for the tip. I’ll definitely look into that, do you recommend any in particular?

      I love these, far more useful than an optical drive. The only difference between them will be the bezel, which varies to fit different laptops’ shapes. They are completely passive; no components except maybe a capacitor to prevent a power surge when hot-swapping.
