Removed Optical Drive, want to use it externally

[Punkwaffle]

Ok, not really. I still haven't purchased my Macbook Pro- waiting for the next revision. I plan on removing the optical drive and adding a 2nd SSD using the data doubler.

So that leaves me with a Apple Optical drive that would just go to waste. Are there any products on the market that would allow me to use this as an external drive via USB?
