I have 2 e.SATA/USB2 3.5inch external cases, and I was wondering if anyone has tried to connect a DVD burner to one of these b4 or if anyone thinks I should not try this out on my own because I might damage one of the said components. Reason i want to do this is because I rarely use my DVD burner and would like to have it ext. However, I would not like to take the hit of variable USB2 speed. I once tried a DVD burner on USB2 and wasn't able to burn at 8X. Thx in advance.
