LG BU40N enclosure

[rsaotome]

I just purchased 2x LG BU40N drives, I need a good quality enclosure, preferably one that doesn't have the cable permanently attached.

I don't know if there's been problems flashing drives in slimline external enclosures, but if so, any that won't give me problems would be nice.

TIA!

I'm waiting on an enclosure coming from Delock. Once it's arrived hopefully I the next couple of days I can see what it's like. It's model number 42603

I bought something like this and it's ok, it was possible to patch my BU40N.

I wonder why so many of these external cases have the cable permanently attached, been burned by cases like these in the past, the cable fails & the case becomes e-waste.

I know that the XRTFORE 4k reader looks like its permanently attached but internally its actually a plug too. Don't know for other cheap readers and enclosures but they look like they are all basically the same.

Mine has a cable that plugs into the port inside, it is not soldered.
