I ... - Does exactly what it says on the tin! I have a HP Pavilion 15 Laptop, out of warranty, or I would have thought twice about it! Purchased this item and a 2TB 2.5 inch drive. Fitting instructions are printed on the caddy. The drive fitted the caddy perfectly. Then undid retaining screw for the laptop DVD Drive and slid the drive out. Removed the front trim from the drive (stiff to remove, but just pulls off) and unscrewed small plate at rear of the drive, which takes the retaining screw. The caddy comes with a front trim, which I removed and replaced with the HP one and screwed the little plate to the back of the caddy (the correct screw holes are there). Carefully slid the new assembly into the laptop and replaced the retaining screw. Result - from the outside, nothing had changed. Powered up the laptop and windows10 identified the new drive and asked for a drive letter, name and a quick format). Copied a very large amount of music files to the new drive. Now, for just short of £100, I have a 3tb laptop instead of a 1tb one! I also purchased a little external USB drive for about £25 for the very rare times I need one. Review: Good quality product - Good quality aluminium drive chassis. No complaints, it does the job well. Fitted a Sandisk drive into it and there were no problems. Only minor issue was a slightly tight fit in the laptop. Had to take off the stickers on the product for a better fitting. ## Features - Drive frame/Hard Drive Caddy For The Installation Of A Second Hard Drive in the your laptop - 'Suitable for 6.35 cm (2.5) SATA hard disk: in the installation frames hold a all 2.5 inch SATA with HDD/SSD - For laptops with 12.7 mm drive bay and SATA connection - Interchangeable Front Cover, The Original bezel can still be used.

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 ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does exactly what it says on the tin!

Very Nice otherwise. *by W***A on 4 August 2015* Not really compatible with my Vostro 3550, but with a little bit of creativity it fitted. If the small piece of metal on the back that holds this caddy to my pc was a few mm longer, it would have been the perfect fit. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/70907831-salcar-2nd-hdd-ssd-sata-3-0-sata-iii-hard](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/70907831-salcar-2nd-hdd-ssd-sata-3-0-sata-iii-hard) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-07-31*
