Review: Very Cheap and Practical Solution - I had 2 woes with this product: My laptops DVD drive has an overhang at the back which allowed it to be screwed into the frame, to stop it from being pulled out, and 2) the front plate on my laptop was curved, the front plate on this is flat. Thankfully both of these issues have been avoided. The bracket and front plate from my original DVD drive and this caddy could be easily removed, and some extra screw holes on the back meant the bracket could be detached from the old and put onto the new without issue. I imagine this is due to standardisation - but I was releived to find this out anyway. This meant that not only does this product work as advertised, it's also been a seamless transition and I've been able to plug my old laptop SSD into my new Laptop, rather than fork out on an M2 drive which was my only other option to expand my storage. I also really appreciate that there is a screwdriver that comes with the product, and not only does is it designed for the HDD, but it fits into the caddy itself, so you can always keep the tool with the product - very handy! All in all this was a fairly successful venture - it does require some knowhow and some delicate handling if you are changing the faceplate and attaching brackets, but worthwhile nevertheless!
Review: Where to put a 2nd hard drive in a Laptop? - On my laptop one of the most underused items is the DVD drive. So, when I realised that my photo images were impacting on the 'C' drive by their shear number and size, I decided to install a second hard drive. I chose to use a caddy to replace the DVD drive. The caddy took a 2½" SATA hard drive perfectly and slotted into the DVD drive's housing as if it were original equipment. The 2nd hard drive was picked up by the OS and I was set. It was that easy!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How  to check which thickness you need? 
And what speeds are supported by the optical bay? Mine is a Lenovo B590. Thanx**
A: To check what thickness you need, just Google your laptop specs or take out the optical drive and measure it.  If you would take the time to read the product page, it states in the specs that the speed is SATA 3.

**Q: There is nothing on the acer website but will this fit in a acer aspire f5-573g? what size?**
A: the size is approximately 130x130mm square and 12mm depth ,these items appear to be pretty universal or generic, but I don`t know if it will fit any particular pc.

**Q: How to check which thickness i need?**
A: Removr the drive and mrsher the metal thikness,, you tube will show you How to,.,.

**Q: So do I remove the cover plate on the current drive and slap it on the caddy?**
A: Yes indeed, that's what i did, just gently prise it off and replace it with the one you prise off your laptop/pc...... or if your plate is flat anyway (if you have an old laptop or ultra small pc) id just swap the whole caddy over...... The only other thing to check is the size of you optical drive bay and they normally have 7mm 9.5mm or 12.7mm if i remember correctly

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ OK
*by A***R on 26 May 2017*

Works as expected, BUT it didn't properly fit into my CD slot. I had to push it harder to go inside the laptop and it broke some small plastic inside the slot. Nevertheless, it wasn't an important one and everything works properly. Laptop is Asus K55VJ
