    Hello,

    I realize that this is not the first topic for this question, but since we are talking in detail I would like to present my question for the specific laptop variation. So, as you might figure already, I would like to put a Solid state disk in place of my current Hard Disk and then shove the HDD in the optical bay, since I am using almost no DVD / CDs at all. I looked up some second HDD / SSD caddies for N56VZ:

    2nd Hard Drive HDD SSD Caddy for Asus N56VZ N56VZ DS71 N56VZ ES71 Optical Bay | eBay

    New SATA 2nd Hard Drive SSD Caddy for Asus N56VZ N56VZ DS71 N56VZ ES71 | eBay

    Those were the first two to pop up. They are fit for N56VZ, so I think they should do, but they do have some extra clarifications for specific models, like: N56VZ-DS71 N56VZ-ES71 and mine ( S4048D ) is not among;. That is why I thought that I should ask you guys, and here I am.

    By the way my SSD is Samsung 840 EVO 120GB.

    Thanks,
    Alex

    The suffix usually just depicts specific hardware configurations and/or region. An N56VZ is still an N56VZ,so any caddy compatible with it, regardless of the model suffix, should still work with your laptop.

    P.S. The EVOs are great. Nice choice! :thumbsup:

    My thoughts exactly. But I wanted to post, just to make sure. Thanks for your comment. I did some reading before buying SSD :)
