Possibly but why not save yourself some cash and buy a caddy (I have a diagnostic one that plugs into USB I picked up for £20) and a seperate drive.

A caddy:

Basically it is like a card reader except for drives, make sure any one you get supports the required connections (some are SATA only)

Anywho a caddy is a otherwise known as an external drive enclosure - i.e. it's just a box you pop an internal CD/DVD drive into so it can be used externally via usb/firewire.

Rawdump 2.0 works with USB drives.

Changes 1.31 - 2.0:
- Faster!! (dumps in about 2.5 hours)
- Faster unscrambling
- Status information while unscrambling
- Works with USB drives!!

I'm not sure on the specifics on what "USB drives" means, but I'm pretty sure it's talked about in this thread:
