Is there such a thing as a two-bay 5.25" enclosure?

Thinking I'd like to move my case under my desk, all I really need to get to is my optical drives. Does anyone make a USB3 or eSATA enclosure I can stick a couple of drives into?

never seen one, just singles - you could always combine them but that would mean two walwarts and two usb plugs

Used to be. It's been a few years since I saw one though. You might be able to find one on eBay. Even if it's USB2 and/or SATA1|2, the lower speed won't be a bottleneck for optical drives.

5:25in optical drives and Diskette Boot is about passe today - Not that I love to Boot DOS.

However: I can do it with a USB Thumb.

OK! Use that 5:25 enclosure for either an Optic Drive or go Water Pump.

What's your MB and Case?

Not passe, I burn Blu Rays of game film for my brother-in-law's basketball team that he coaches and my nephew's junior high team every week during basketball season.
