Don't think it is possible, you still need some chips of original Blu-ray drive (binding of HW-ID to BD-firmware for SCI-ID).

But you gonna need this if you're going to try (of prove/claim it is [im]possible):
- http://www.allpinouts.org/index.php/..._Attachment%29 (or http://www.interfacebus.com/SATA_Pinout.html)
- http://www.multiupload.com/K94IMLNU6C (or Google for "bdd 0013e 01")

Finding the powerlines and ground shouldn't be a problem.
Next would be finding the 2 differential datapairs (if wired, normally found as shielded twisted pair) for SATA.

If you would succeed in hooking up the hardware, in the endresult you will still need a modified Backup/File Manager to add /dev_hdd1 as mountpoint additional to the usual /dev_hdd0 , /dev_bdvd , /dev_ps2disc and /dev_ps1disc

Good luck!

For many 3.5inch drives this would work, but if anyone would try to use a 2.5inch drive instead it would not even use the 12V lines (not connected in HDD) and possible will require the 3.3V lines instead (although I currently don't see 3.3V lines used) as a lowpower mobile device.
