If I also purchase a Slimline SATA adapter, will this work with an Optical Drive?

I connect the anker adapter to HDD and also to a DVD drive. In both times it worked perfectly

No it will not, but there are other adapters that will allow you to go from ide to sata. Just go to amazon and type in pata/ide to sata adapter.

Yes, it will work for a SATA DVD drive. I don't recall if it came with a SATA cable.

It actually depends on the e-Sata that you have on your system. I haven't looked into this but you need to do a bit of research on this if you're interested. Good luck.

Nope. This adapter was designed for Micro SATA connections. Full size drives use SATA connections. USB would also be too slow/not enough power to run a Blu Ray Drive.

It has worked with all my SATA drives from 100GB to 750GB. You'll have to use an adapter for pin conversion.

I typically use a Samsung SN-208DB, but you could use any standard slim SATA optical drive.

It depends on what types of hard disk you use and what types of mount your board has for hard disk. Usually it will be SATA or IDE something. It has nothing to do with this adapter.

Yes it will. A very good product..You can also use it to bridge sata to ide for file transfer.

Yes it will work with any SATA drive. It is made to connect to an external SATA connector on computers that have this availible. This is the e-SATA end. The other end of the cable is a standard SATA connector just like the internal SATA cables.

This works with a Solid State Drive if you want to just buy the chassis and then add your own drive. Otherwise I'm uncertain.

It depends on the number of drives. The motherboard comes with at least 2 SATA cables, which can be used for SATA hard drives and SATA CD/DVD drives. If you need more cables, then make sure you purchase the 6GB cables of the correct length for your application. Here is an compatible cable, albeit they are 18" long.OKGear 18 inch Black Premium SATA III Round Cable 6GB/s Straight to Straight w/latch, Black

Your notebook DVD should fit as it is a slimline drive, also note that the connectors on a slimline drive are different than a standard connector. You will need an adapter that is pretty compact (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BG8WMW4/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1) as it will butt up against the PS. If you use an ATX board you will not be able to mount an optical drive you have to use a mATX board.

Don't know about that. I hooked up a sata drive and it works okay. Best to contact the maker of the blu ray drive for info.

It works great with my Asus SATA Blu-ray burner. Now the internal Blu-ray burner becomes a portable one.

Yes it has a SATA connection as that is the interface it is designed to use. For further details go to OEM website: http://www.asus.com/us/Optical_Drives/DRW24B3ST/

Yes, it will work with mostly any SATA device, however, the form factor is more geared toward optical drives. you would need adapter rails to get a hard drive to stay put in the casing.
