    I recently got a Sager NP8130 but I ordered it with a DVD drive. Didn't realize I wasn't going to use it at all and I want to swap it with a HDD caddy. My questions are:

    (1) Replacing ODD voids warranty?
    (2) How complicated is the swap?
    (3) Will this or this work?

    Thanks for reading/replying.

    1) It shouldn't but you'll want to double check with your reseller.
    2) Not hard, its one screw
    3) Either will work fine.

    Many thanks mythlogic, I checked with Sager and if I don't physically damage the laptop I can do it.
