If you want to use the drive via USB you should get an USB 3 enclosure. USB 2 would still be fast enough for optical drives but you could run into problems with lacking power. USB 3 will be the safer choice. However, there are rare reports of lacking power with USB 3 but then you can use an active USB 3 hub in between the enclosure and the PC.
