Question Will a 3.5" HDD enclosure work with optical media?

[Perene]

I am currently looking for one like the Vantec, for attaching with 5.25 drives:

NexStar DX2 USB 3.0 External Enclosure for SATA Blu-Ray/CD/DVD Drive

Design for 5.25" Blu-Ray/CD/DVD drive Super Speed USB 3.0 transfer rate Plug and Play, No drivers needed Aluminum Alloy Casing for reduced noise and vibration Hot swappable for system equipped with USB port For any System with USB Mass Storage Device Support

But I was only able to find 3.5 HDD enclosures, SATA/IDE. My question is simple: will these work somehow with Blu-ray/DVD drives? Or even if they work, there's a risk the drive will not fit?

No.

You are right, I just checked, I really need something like the Vantec, because the Pioneer drive has these measurements:

148 mm(W)×42.3 mm(H)×181 mm(D)

Or 14.8 cm WIDTH, 4.23 cm HEIGHT, and 18.1 cm DEPTH. And the Vantec fits them all, but not the 3.5 HDD enclosure, perhaps only 1 of the 3. We need to take into account the enclosure capacity and the drive itself.

I have one of those I've used for more than 4 years. Fits my Samsung DVD drives perfectly. In a pinch, I can use it for HDDs and SSDs as well.
