Found this old DVD driver in the garage that looks like it was from a laptop. I’d like to use it, but I don’t know what port is that.
I thought it was SATA, but it’s a little bit more taller and narrow, maybe an old revision? Or is it HP proprietary?
Any help is appreciated!
To add to that, since its an HP branded one, it might have a special front bezel to go to a specific laptop model. Those bezels are removable with just a couple clips.
AFAIK, HP doesn't actually manufacture the drives themselves, just the bezel. They just slap an HP branded sticker on there.
I was trying to get a specific bezel for a zbook for a little while and HP wants like, $100+ for a damn piece of plastic they already have in stock
