Will this External Enclosure work for my SuperDrive?

I have a 2011 Macbook Pro 13" and I am swapping the superdrive for an SSD, spotted this cheap enclosure on Ebay and was wondering if it would be compatible.

Thanks!

No, that is for a tray-loading drive. You might be better off just buying a full USB DVD drive, as some of the slot-loading cases are not cheap.

Dang, thank you.
This Youtuber ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Fg7Rfg2jTQ )
states in his description that he got his enclosure for $6.75, so it got my hopes up, though his link no longer works. Any ideas to similarly priced compatibly products?

OH! I paused the video at 3:33 and saw the name "JacobsParts" on the enclosure, googled it and found this

the second one seems to be the one he uses, though just double checking, it will be compatible, correct?

Why not this for $24.95? I have it and it works perfect.

if you buy an OptiBay to replace the drive right now, they will send you an enclosure for the superdrive for free!

I'm getting a cheap caddy off of ebay
would the second one here be compatible with the superdrive of the MBP?

I don't know enough about it to definitively say no, but I doubt it. The superdrive is a slot load drive, and that enclosure is for a drive that has a tray. You would need an enclosure that supports a slot-load drive
