Review: Great Way to Give an Old Laptop New Life! - I recently picked up this Highfine Universal 9.5mm SATA Caddy, and it is easily one of the best "bang-for-your-buck" upgrades I’ve ever done for my laptop. If your internal storage is hitting the red zone, this is a total lifesaver. Why It’s a 5-Star Product: Dead Simple Installation: I’m not a professional technician, but the setup was incredibly straightforward. You basically just slide your extra drive into the caddy, secure it, and swap it with your laptop's existing CD/DVD drive. It took me less than 10 minutes from start to finish. Seamless, Flush Fit: I was worried about it sticking out or looking "modded," but it fits perfectly into the bay. It sits flush with the laptop chassis, maintaining the original look of my machine. Massive Storage Boost: My original hard drive was almost completely full. By using this caddy, I was able to add an additional 500 GB drive into the optical bay slot. It’s the perfect solution for anyone who doesn't use CDs anymore but desperately needs more space for files and games. Integrated System Feel: A huge plus is how the OS handles the drive. Unlike an external USB drive that you have to worry about unplugging, the system recognizes this as a standard internal SATA drive. It doesn't show up as "removable storage," which makes for a much more stable and permanent feel. Size Comparison & Dimensions I’ve attached photos showing the precise dimensions. As you can see, it is a perfect 9.5mm match to the original CD/DVD drive I pulled out. Make sure to check your laptop's drive thickness before ordering, but for a standard 9.5mm slot, this Highfine adapter is spot on. Bottom Line: If you have an empty or useless disk drive slot and a full hard drive, stop thinking about it and just buy this. It works exactly as advertised!
Review: Works great in Lenovo Thinkpad E540. Save your DVD bezel to re-use - I replaced a DVD R/W in a Lenovo Thinkpad E540 with the Highfine Universal Caddy and installed a 1TB Samsung SSD as the storage device. Here are my observations: -- WORKS PERFECT: After installed , it worked perfectly first time. -- EASY INSTALL: Very easy to install. -- NO INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED. No instructions needed. There is plenty of Utube and other helpful instructions online. -- NEED TO REUSE SOME PARTS: You need to save the metal tab on the end and carefully remove the DVD plastic bezel to reuse. -- UNIVERSAL BEZEL NOT A PERFECT FIT: It comes with a flat plastic universal bezel but my E540 laptop has a highly beveled attachment. While the universal bezel will fit, there is a large gap underneath and probably not good for the highly engineered air flow needed to keep the electronics cooled. If your replacing a DVD save the bezel to re-use. -- DON'T BUY A CADDY ON EBAY!: I purchased a caddy on Ebay and over several days had problems with random blue screen and rebooting. The contacts on the connectors appeared thin and dull. When I would flex the laptop buy picking it up with one hand the laptop would blue screen or reboot. -- HIGHFINE IS BETTER QUALITY: The Highfine caddy is subtlety different then the Ebay unit and the Highfine caddy SATA contacts look more robust, thicker with better quality gold vaporized on the contacts. When I pick up the laptop as mentioned above there were not issues with rebooting or blue screen. All around 100% better than ebay.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works on Dell R610 Server
*by L***K on September 23, 2019*

Putting together a LAB environment in my house to practice my skills and chase after a few certs. Purchased a used Dell r610 server, a couple hard drives and this CDROM/HDD converter kit from here. I wanted to take advantage of the sata port the cdrom was connected to, seeing that I wasn’t going to be using the cdrom for anything in the foreseeable future, and if needed, I have a external USB one just in case. Right off the bat, the Hard Drive Caddy Adapter worked like a champ. The Dell R610 had zero issues recognizing the SSD hard drive once I booted it up. Installation went pretty straight forward, with only one minor hiccup. The holes for the little plastic bit that used to secure the cdrom to the case didn’t match up between the Dell’s cd rom and the adapter. This wasn’t anything that couldn’t be fixed with a little nail and equally as little hammer. The metal casing for the caddy is pretty thin, little too thin is you ask me, so I had no issue driving a pilot hole into the back of the caddy to match up with the holes on the plastic locking piece. As for the overall caddy size, it was darn near identical in dimensions with the cdrom I removed from the server, darn near except that the caddy was a hair shorter in height, enough so that it left a noticeable gap when I inserted into the server. Not a show stopper, but still something someone might notice in a similar setup. This by no means affected the caddy in any way, the plastic locking bit was still ale to engage, and the SATA/Power cable (Yes I know this is not the right term for what being using on the server) was still able to connect. Overall, I was happy I spent the extra couple buck to utilize what would have been a wasted sata port on my server.
