Is there a way to use LG WH16NS40 externally? Or what's the best drive to use for a laptop?

Hello,
I purchased an LG WH16NS40 about 4 years ago and flashed the needed firmware myself to allow it the reading/playback of 4K UHD discs and it works perfectly. However my Desktop is pretty big and I want to downsize. Either to a SFF PC build or a laptop. I don't do much PC gaming so a downgrade in specs doesn't bother me much but losing the disc drive does. Is there any adapter/converter that's verified to work with the LG drive that allows it to connect over USB and use externally? If not, what's the best external drive that can use LibreDrive and read/write BR and 4K UHDs?
Thank you
