5.0 out of 5 stars No real complaints

This is not the super slim dvd form factor predominant in the laptops circa 2017 and after. I shouldn have noticed this from the description. Despite this, it's possible to pry the aluminum cage and make it work for slim dvd bays as well. It got the job done.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works well in older Dell Optiplex SFF technology.

Adapter worked well in Dell Optiplex 9020 (Haswell generation) SFF. Also, by removing the DVD-RW adapter from the DVD-RW in an old Dell Optiplex 780 (Core2 Duo/Quad), it will work there also. An inexpensive solution that gives new life to older technology. Well worth the modest purchase price.

Not right size

Gekauft um eine ssd Festplatte in den CD Schacht einzubauen. Umbau geht in Minuten und endlich kann schnell zwischen den Platten und Betriebssystemen geswitcht werden

5.0 out of 5 stars Cheap, works without issues, but take your time installing it.

The metal was really thin, and easy to dent without careful handling, but it installs easily, and you cannot tell that it is installed, unless you try to put a disk in the CD caddy!

Works pretty good. Installed my SSD 2.5" drive inside, and onto an HP ProDesk 400 G1 SFF desktop PC. Because of USB pendisk I never use the much slower DVD player anyway. So now I have more space and better ventilation inside the PC. Recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars HDD Caddy for Older Laptops

2026-02-05    -Chris

The HDD caddy is compatible with older laptops that have a thicker optical disc drive. I used it for an Lenovo z570 so it was the perfect size for that laptop. It has a decent speed but I'd recommend this strictly for an HDD an SSD just doesn't make any sense because it won't even reach the speeds an SSD can provide. The ease of use is more dependent on how difficult your laptop model is to work on. On the z570 it was a couple of screws to finally install the caddy so it was easy. I find the quality of the caddy to be reasonable. It holds the HDD perfectly after it's completely installed. The only problem I had was with that the caddy isn't completely compatible with the original side cover of the disc drive. I had to use tape and some glue to get the side cover to stick on. If you want to work on an old laptop and revive it this is a great upgrade.

Bueno y funcional

Me fue muy útil, pude extender la memoria de mi PC gracias a este producto.Lo único malo es que el producto es de mala calidad es un plástico muy genérico.
