I fail to see how that helps even slightly. It's the wrong physical interface, too small and also $90 :P

Can you post a link to one? All I can see are ones to plug slim ATAPI optical drives into standard/laptop IDE connectors, not the other way around.

If so, it doesn't look like it would work with a MacBook ODD cable, since it seems to have a non-standard connector on the back. But the picture may not match the item, and if it does have a standard ODD connector on the back (JAE KX14), it is pretty much what we're afte..

My MacBook currently "occupied" and have no intention to install 2nd HDD at the moment. The connector seems to look exactly like my old iBook CD-ROM drive. Have yet to study what's different from MacBook strange 9.5mm optical drive.
