    Hello folks, first post.

    I'm looking to get a couple of extra empty or populated disk caddies for my new CF-30. Shopping around, I see mention of the caddies being Mk I vs ?? or for C/D vs. F/G. I assume this has something to do with the part number (mine is CF-30CAQEZBM). Are there two different connection specs for CF-30 drive caddies or should I be able to use any of them made for the CF-30?

    If two, is my unit a Mk I aka C/D or am I incorrect in my assumptions?

    Welcom to the forum!!!
    I don't have a CF-30, but from toughbook.wikispaces.com/CF-30
    The 'C' in your model number after cf-30 indicates it is the mk1. Check the panasonic configurator to be sure.

    Select notebook under fully-rugged, and then CF-30.

    Happy hunting!!

    The caddy is the same for all 30s so no worries there. Yes, you have a mark 1.
