Is your email the best way to place an order?
I don't "know" the model billycar11 is selling (slim-line vs. 5 1/4"), but if it is a 5 1/4" sized drive/chassis, there's a 99% chance you could remove the drive from the USB chassis & use it simply as a SATA drive. If it's a slim-line drive, those are SATA also (internal drive). You would need a slim-line -> 5 1/4" drive bay adapter for whatever computer you were going to put it into, and a SATA/power adapter cable (something like this: https://www.amazon.com/SATA-Optical-Dri ...

Thanks, I suspect you'll be inundated with orders soon, but order placed/payment sent.Billycar11 wrote: Fri Nov 07, 2025 5:13 amits the only waySodas wrote: Fri Nov 07, 2025 5:09 amBillycar11 wrote: Fri Nov 07, 2025 4:48 am ok everyone i am officially selling drives again for now there are only xd08's

The model Billy has are the XD08's which are slimline with a flip top to pull the disc out (akin to old Discmans). Not something compatible with anything to put in a case.nicholfd wrote: Fri Nov 07, 2025 7:50 pmI don't "know" the model billycar11 is selling (slim-line vs. 5 1/4"), but if it is a 5 1/4" sized drive/chassis, there's a 99% chance you could remove the drive from the USB chassis & use it simply as a SATA drive.

The 5 1/4" Pioneer drives I have for sale are branded/in an ASUS USB chassis. Two screws removed & snap the case apart. Drive can be removed & used as an internal SATA drive. One buyer has done exactly this with two drives.
Thanks,

If you have a 5 1/4" based ones, whether it is in an enclosure or not, then I'm definitely interested in what you have to offer. I didn't know you had any. When I last looked around, it seemed like no one had them in stock.
I thought he was still testing the firmware? Are they available to buy now?Doc44 wrote: Thu Nov 13, 2025 1:18 am Drive arrived safely, tested it briefly and everything seems to work correctly. Thanks Billy!
