I have a boxed unused Liteon LTR-52327S CD-RW Drive I bought many moons ago to replace two worn out cd drives in an old now long departed PC. I now have a laptop with no CD drive but need to burn over 1600 CD's onto my iTunes on my NAS so I can access them through my Sonos system. Whilst I know external CD burners are cheap I thought I could utilise the Liteon.
I have seen disc enclosures and USB3.0 to IDE/Sata adaptors but need some guidance.
1. Can I do this?
2. What adaptor would I need?
3. Does the adaptor just need to have the power and DATA (called Host Interface on the Liteon) socket?
4. Would the Digital or Analogue audio sockets on the Liteon be uneccesary?
I know I would need an enclosure for it to sit in but again I'm not sure if there is something ready made on the market or I could just build my own out of nice wood to keep it secure and not to utilitarian looking.
i know it sounds a lot of faff when external CD drives are so cheap but the Liteon seems built like a tank and it would be a shame not to use it if I can.
Many thanks for your advice.
