    Hi all
    I've opened my K72JR laptop in search of 2nd HDD bay and found that caddy from first HDD bay isn't compatible with second bay. Searching the net I haven't found any different caddy type for K72jr model, only same as for first bay and that optibay caddy that i don't want...

    So has anyone bought caddy for second bay and how does it look like? Link would be much appreciated :)

    In the mean time some foam and strategic double sided tape could do the job.

    Seems a bit difficult to source. Have you contacted Asus directly? Some parts they sell direct. Maybe they can at least point you in the right direction if they don't have this particular caddy.
