but a 2.5" case that is bus powered and oput a 2TB SSD in it. Without
going to TB3, that's as fast as you are going to get, as the USB-C cases
I've seen are the same speed as the USB-3 A plug cases.

I haven't burned an optical disc in... a decade? Probably have burned a
CD for some windows person who needed drivers to get on the Internet,
but nothing comes to mind. No idea what the state of burners is. I have
an old (15+ years) one I pull out and connect to wires if I need to, but
i don't need to, I don't even have a case for it.
