ODD adapter for laptop

[steezemageeze]

I'm going to be replacing my laptop's 160 GB HDD with a 120 GB SSD in the near future, and I got to thinking about possibly mounting my old HDD in my ODD bay so that I wouldn't really be downgrading in storage capacity. I found this for $10, and I figure it'll either suck and not work and I'll be out a Hamilton or it'll work and I'll be rocking 280 GB. Anybody bought one of these?

as long as they dont pull a derp like what happened to the usb type c cable reviewer, all thats inside here is just a passtrough of cables between the two connector types, and it shouldnt be any form of "good" or "bad" and will just work.

Hey steezemageeze,

 

This is a storage drive caddy and they are quite popular among users that don't really need their optical drives in the laptops and prefer to have another drive in their place. These work quite well and people are quite happy from them. The only thing you'd need to check out is if the specific caddy is compatible with your laptop and if the SATA port isn't SATA I 1.5 Gb/s since it would limit the speed of any drive there (especially if it's a SSD).

 

Post back if you need more info
