Dell D400 notebook optical drive upgrade

[FishTankX]

My D-400 uses an enclosure for it's optical drives, and seems to be using a USB + extra power connector, or something. What kind of drive would I need to find to put in it? Would any notebook DVD-RW do?

The enclosure shoulld accept standard notebook drives. Just, dunno which type.

You're probably looking at this external enclosure.. i bought a few of these.. my d800 has one connector and the docking station has another.. its a usb with a little tab on top for power..

I'm not looking for the external enclosure, rather, what drive would be able to be compatible with it.
