    I have bought this caddy
    New 12.7mm IDE To SATA 2ND HARD DISK DRIVE Caddy DV12 | eBay

    and was wondering if this harddrive would work with that caddy

    Newegg.com - SAMSUNG Spinpoint M8 HN-M101MBB 1TB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache 2.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Notebook Hard Drive -Bare Drive

    and would that be a good second harddrive. I would be using the harddrive to run World of Warcraft off of and use it for AutoCAD and keep my songs/videos on. Would this be an adequate harddrive for those things? Or does anyone have any other suggestions? Thank you for your time.

    Surely this caddy isn't going to work unless you use an IDE HDD. THe Spinpoint is SATA.
