After successfully flashed can I just use basically any sata to usb3/esata drive enclosure to connect LG-BU40N to my mac

I understand there are specific sata commands that won't work for flashing using many external hard drive enclosures out there but what about after flashing just for ripping? A friend of mine has this which I could borrow just for flashing: https://www.amazon.com/Benfei-Adapter-C ... T17B8?th=1
But I'm wondering if I'll ever need it again after flashing my drive? I have plenty of extra sata hard drive enclosures i could use to connect my drive for ripping, just wondering if those would likely work reliably after flashing using the Benfei adapter?

Yeah, you should be able to use pretty much any 9.5mm enclosure once the drive has been flashed.
