    Hi,

    I'm currently looking for a solution to expand my internal hard drive space for Hp elitebook 8530w. I would like to have 250GB 7200RPM (have already) + 500GB 5400RPM (WD Blue) in the optical drive.
    Now those ********! from HP only sell a 250GB 5400 RPM + bay for a ridiculous high price. So i was wondering if I could order an upgrade bay from Lenovo and fit it in my HP8530w. I don't care if it looks ugly from outside, it just needs to fit. Has anyone tried this, or was succesfull with caddy from other brand. Please tell me?
