  • Very cheap and does what you want. The 4 screws to secure the hard drive and the small screwdriver are included in the package. It also has a plastic strip so the silver of the metal is not visible. It was purchased for memory expansion in a laptop. It needed a 2-minute setup for the hard drive to work (google it) and everything was fine after that.

    I give 5 stars because it is a very good set that includes a front, a small screwdriver, and does what it says. Note that this specific one is for slim.

    It does what it says, okay, easy to install but the back cover it has inside didn't fit my laptop at all, I imagine for most, and even though I put the laptop cover on, there is still a very small gap that bothers me because dust can get in more easily

    Very convenient and fast to install for replacing a DVD drive with an internal hard drive. The build quality seems average but I have a second one installed for three years and it has never bothered me.

    An expansion of storage space was made on a customer's laptop, as the SSD it had was small at 256GB. Easy and fast installation.

    It does its job perfectly fine, easy installation and no need for any settings or anything else, it's plug and play. Just be careful with the size to match your laptop because it comes in two dimensions. The only downside (which is why I gave it four stars) is that at least on my laptop, with the plastic strip it comes with in the package, it left a fairly large gap on the side, so I had to remove and use the plastic strip from the laptop's DVD driver.

    Excellent, it does exactly what it says, with an SSD in an old 5-year-old laptop, it feels like I bought a new one. Two observations:
    1. With a video on YouTube, I saw how the "regular" face of the laptop should be screwed in place, so that it looks exactly like before.
    2. The SSD fits nicely and sits in the caddy, you push it into place and it makes a "click" sound in the connector, you can see the screws underneath and you think it's properly installed. It took me 4 hours to discover that I hadn't pushed the SSD further into the caddy with enough force (I was afraid to do so). You need to apply force for the SATA connector to be completely inserted into the disk.

    It fits in the place of the DVD drive (of course, after removing the DVD drive) and a second hard drive is inserted inside. I got an SSD from my old laptop and put it in this caddy, and I mainly use it for storing videos, photos, and games, while the main disk is used for Windows and programs.

    The DVD drive comes out easily by unscrewing only one screw and pulling it out, while the caddy with the attached hard drive goes in just as easily as the DVD drive comes out.
    If someone has never done it before or has doubts, they can watch an instructional video on the internet.
    The package includes screws, a screwdriver, and a "cover" that serves as a cover for the end of the caddy.

    Just before purchasing it, check the millimeters (mm) of the DVD drive. If, for example, the caddy is 12.7mm while your DVD drive is 9.5mm, it obviously won't fit inside. I had to return it because what was sent to me was not the 9.5mm required for my laptop, but the 12mm.

    It does its job! Pay attention to the mm depending on which device you want it for! I have the 9.5mm in my Macbook Pro and the 12.7mm in a 17-inch laptop for an extra hard drive!

    Flawless and extremely economical.
    A 2TB disk was installed. Very easy installation even for beginners.

    Note:
    Installed in a Dell USFF. The plastic front panel that accompanies it is smaller than those of branded hardware/software in the majority and leaves a small gap of 3 millimeters around it. In the slots, at least for me, it did not fit to be replaced with the Dell factory one.

    I put it in my 2010 Sony Vaio laptop and it fit perfectly with a very good fit and screwing. I added an SSD on top and it works flawlessly. The only thing you need to do after installing it and entering Windows is to go to disk management and format it so that Windows can recognize it!

    I put it in a laptop to have a second disk to store movies, photos, and songs.
    I removed the DVD that I didn't need as much as I have the laptop and put in the caddy. It didn't seem difficult to install and you don't need a degree to remove the DVD and then connect the caddy. There are also videos that show the steps in case you want to be sure or don't know the process. Be careful and gentle with the movements so as not to cause any damage.

    It is a product with very good value for money. It works flawlessly on a Lenovo G50-45 laptop, while it was also tested on a Dell Inspiron 5570. A second one was purchased and used on a friend's Dell Insprion 5567 laptop, where it also works without any problems whatsoever. It plugged in without any issues on all the computers.

    I have the Acer Aspire E1-570G laptop and I want to say that I am satisfied. I added a second hard drive to my laptop because I am a DJ and I am happy with it. I recommend it to everyone. So, I have installed an SSD hard drive to run my Windows and I have put the old hard drive for songs :)

    It may not be top-notch in terms of build quality, but let's face it, that's not a crucial element for this particular component. It did its job well and at a very affordable price. The assembly was good, except for the bracket, which was slightly larger than the laptop slot and wouldn't fit properly. Since I used it to install an SSD in place of the DVD drive, I ended up using the bracket from the DVD drive that I removed, which of course fits perfectly with the laptop. The only downside is that the SSD indicator light is not visible.
