    So is there one for the Latitude E5520? Does it replace the CD/DVD ROM? Thanks :D

    Any luck on this? My E5520 just arrived today and I would like to purchase one. I'm thinking the generic SATA to SATA 12.7mm caddy should work. I'll report back if I get one.

    @dolsey01, I got your PM, and yes I'm using a generic 12.7mm SATA to SATA caddy from newmodus, it was originally from my old studio xps1645. So the problem is the caddy is open ended, it doesn't have a place for the bezel to clip onto from the optical drive, so at the moment it is just black taped on, blends quite well. If you leave the holding screw out of the caddy you should be able to hotswap caddies/optical drives easily enough

    Thanks! I'll order a 12.7mm and see if I can track down a bezel.
