Hi to all
Recently i bought the new Phanteks Eclipse P400s Case.
In the Haste of the moment I forgot to check one thing. Apparently the Case does not have a slot for internal DVD/Blue-Ray.

is there a cheap solution to fix this. I do not want to buy a new external player.
maybe an external case for DVD's? or a cable to from sata and Power to Usb and external power source?

Hey there, fitsou.

You are in luck my friend. There is such a thing - an external enclosure for optical drives. It's basically a 5.25" enclosure for DVD/Blu-Ray drives with a USB interface. Just google it, there are a lot of different options. However as an official WD representative, I can't really recommend any products that are not under the WD brand, so sorry about that.

Hope that helps.

Yeah You can get a External DVD Writer easily for around 25$ and 130$ for Blu-ray writer.
I checked some reviews and found the best ones. I have provided Amazon Links below :-
http://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronics-Portable-External-GP65NB60/dp/B00ODDE33U/ (External DVD Writer)
http://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronics-Super-Multi-External-BE14NU40/dp/B00ACOQF2Q (External Blu-Ray Drive writer)
The performance difference between external and internal is very little and you wont notice it , so its safe to buy them.
