    Hi. I am wondering if such a product exists. I am looking for an external enclosure for the Blu Ray Burner in my HP laptop. It needs to be USB 3.0 though I believe due to the bandwidth Blu Ray requires.

    Basically like this product on amazon that would support blu ray burning/USB 3.0.

    The reason I am asking is I am considering dropping in a optical drive hard drive enclosure for an SSD, but I want to be able to use my blu ray burner for backups when needed without swapping out my drives
