    Hello
    Give a shout if you know please...

    I want to take out my cd-rom and put in a 3rd hdd/ssd.

    I can find some cable and caddies on ebay, but mostly r3 and r4.
    does anybody have experience with any of these parts? Can be made to fit? Sata3 connector?

    Thank you

    I think I have one can't remember would have to check.

    I use a 5tb drive in the odd bay which is 15mm and with the included rubber corners fits just perfect.
