External drive enclosure for MacBook internal optical drive?

Is there an external drive adapter that will work with the internal optical drive from a MacBook when I replace it with the "9.5 mm Optical Bay SATA Hard Drive Enclosure"? The drive still works. I have one of those testbed USB adapters that will probably work, but I would prefer a stand alone enclosure. Thanks!

I'd rather discard (maybe sell) the original slot-in drive and go for a standart usb external optical. The ultra slim drives in the MacBooks aren't very good and if you really need an OD youre better off with on off the shelf. I have a LG external that works wonderful.

Thanks, I was thinking that, but I hate to waste anything that still works. ;-)

Yes there are several options! The one I found cool is the following:

Easy to set, thin enough and cool looking!
