    Hello All,

    I am planning to order a customized ENVY 15t-3200 laptop and wondering if anyone has tried using this Caddy to replace the optical drive with a 2nd hard-drive?

    I am planning to order with the hybrid HDD and then replace the optical drive with my own SSD. Although the website states that its compatible with Envy 14 and 15 models, I am not sure it will work in the latest Ivy Bridge models.

    Thanks!

    I'll be doing this as well. I have a caddy from newmodeus left over from my Envy 14. Glad to hear the ebay ones work too, i may order another there.

    Thanks for the tips guys. The ebay one really seems a much better deal.

    Finally pulled the trigger and ordered my Envy 15 today. :D

    Do either of the caddies match the aluminum exterior of the envy 15?

    Any more details on this? I would also like to find out the procedure to install this drive in the optical drive of my envy 15 3200.

    edit:
    will this also void warranty?
