    I ordered this ODD to HDD Caddy
    Amazon.com: SATA 2nd HDD Hard Drive Caddy for 12.7mm Universal CD / DVD-ROM Optical Bay: Electronics
    HDD did not fit, the screws did not line up for me to screw it in. Even after some modifications (nipping off the random nubs at the end of the SATA connector) the drive was not recognized. Also after installing the caddy did not fit flush with the edge of the laptop, you could actually see part of the metal sticking out. I gave it one out of five stars. I would have normally done more research but there really not much info on these. Could someone please recommend me one that works? :mad:
