    I recently installed this hard drive caddy in my np9150 by removing the dvd drive. Everything works great but I realized there is no easy way that I can see to remove the caddy. It snaps into place perfectly but there is no way to get any leverage to pull it back out of the laptop. Is there a trick I am missing? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    Push it out from the primary drive bay. You have to get in there to unscrew it anyway.

    If I get a fingernail between where the bottom of the caddy and the chassis meet, I can pull it out pretty easily.

    Thanks I got it. Had to remove the primary drive in the primary bay and was then able to stick a small screw driver in and push it out.
