HDD/SSD Ultrabay Slim Module for IBM Lenovo ThinkPad T400, T400s, T410, T410i, T410s, T420s, T420si, W500, T500, X200, X220, X220s, X220T - Adapter Caddy 9.5 mm (SATA - SATA) - TheNatural2020

Great way to add a second hard disk to a Dell e4310 laptop - perfect fit, if a little tight. Really nice decent construction with acceptable-looking exterior (sorta still looks like a DVD drive). Needs the metal 'tab' taken off the real DVD as it's pretty tricky to remove without this. Great product - I highly recommend it - seemed better quality (from reviews) than competing offerings and I can say it's great.

Worked a real treat in my Thinkpad 430, using an SSD and Linux, so have far more space. I now have a high quality SSD for the boot drive (Samsung Pro) and a cheap one for photos etc (backed up of course) - Crucial MX300 525GB in this case. Under Linux Mint, there's probably a few more steps than with Windows. I found it easier to create the partition and format it by placing the SSD in a caddy first and running gparted. As I formatted the drive using Ext4, it had root ownership, so had to change that. Easiest way to fix that was to start the file manager as root (sudo caja) and look at the properties of the drive - and change ownership and group to myself, with permissions to read/write.

I don't usually write reviews but I spent that long trying to find a UK supplied 2nd hdd caddy for my dell latitude e6420 that, having found one suitable, I thought I would try and help others out. The caddy fits perfectly in the place of the dvd drive but like another reviewer says, the bezel is very short and leaves some of the caddy showing. The bezel and ejector button from the original dvd drive come off really easily - the bezel gentrly unclips while the ejector button is just a case of removing 3 screws and fit superbly on this new caddy. The new caddy now fits perfectly in the slot and the ejector clips perfectly. Not tried a hdd in it yet so it might not work in theory(!) but it certainly fits a treat.

Although this adapter is reasonably well constructed, it is over priced and does not fit the Dell M4800 - That said, it does not claim to fit the 4800, but since it does claim to fit the 4400 I thought I'd give it a go. The bezel is entirely the wrong shape - it's too long and has a pronounced downward slant meaning that the bezel sticks out several mm from the edge of the laptop. This is far from clear from the photos. It is functional but I can't say I'm happy with it and will have to look elsewhere for another one at some point. My three star rating is based on poor value for money and the poor photos describing the item - not the fact it did not fit my laptop properly.

Snug fit, but I was not prepared for how bright the LED on the outside was! If I had to buy again, I would pick a tray with no indicators - it's incredibly annoying at night. This isn't really a fault, just a personal preference. It otherwise does its intended purpose justice, with my laptop (Thinkpad T410) not making the slightest rattle.

I cannot make it into my laptop because this one is not 1.2mm. Its very important because even 3mm different could make big problem. Now I have to buy another one and waste whole weekend to waiting the new one because of that "1.2mm".

I bought this to use in my Lenovo T430s (slimline) as I wanted to run an extra hard flash drive for my virtual environments. Previously I had run this on an external drive with a USB 3 port but the SSD drive still underperformed. I installed this - and followed some instructions on You Tube. It took me 10 mins to install the SSD drive in and it slutted it no problems. Because this is aslo a direct connection to the port, the SSD drive performs faster and quicker than before. I'd recommend this bay - and ignore the prices as it does perform as good as the expensive one from Lenovo. I haven't experienced the cracks that everyone else has experienced.

No instructions. Bag of screws included, but no idea where they should go. Disk slides in but is not held very tight. Whole thing kind of adequate (just) for stated purpose. I don't need to use it very often - if I did I should be getting my money back and seeking a better one elsewhere

Très bon produit. Fonctionne parfaitement sur Lenovo T410. De plus, le côté du module épouse parfaitement la forme latérale de l'ordinateur. Très satisfait.

Excellent Matériel et conforme à mon Dell e6400 Merci

Acabados en plastico y aluminio. Trae un pequeño destornillador para ajustar unos pequeños tornillos laterales para asegurar el HDD al bastidor. Hay un pequeña cuña de plastico extraible que se saca para la instalcion del HDD y se recoloca para rellenar el espacio necesario al instalarlo, quedando el disco perfectamente encajado. Aprendi por las malas que hay DOS grosores de DVD Slim: 9mm y 12mm... Aconsejo sacar la unidad del ordenador y medirla, esos 3mm hacen que quede suelta o no entre, si no eliges la adecuada. Ademas sacando (con cuidado) el frontal de la unidad de DVD, se puede reinstalar en el chasis y queda totalmente integrado como la unidad original. La estetica cuenta!!! PD: Generalmente la unidad de DVD tiene, o una trampilla en la tapa inferior donde hay un tornillo que lo asegura, o un cierre tipo gatillo para liberaralo o hay que leventar el teclado (como en muchos ASUS, como el mio) y buscar un tornillo para extraer la unidad). Funcionamiento a la perfeccion (tampoco es un "gran obra de ingenieria" adaptar un conector a otro) con un HDD de 2Tb WD. Ideal para aprovechar espacio en portatiles en el que cada vez se usa menos la unidad de DVD y se aprecia mas la capacidad de almacenamiento...

Fonctionne parfaitement avec le lecteur CD de mon PC Comme cette adaptateur n'a qu'un connecteur USB, à connecté de préférence sur un port USB3 qui délivre plus de courant qu'un USB2 ( le lecteur CD risque de manqué de courant )

En commandant ce produit je n’étais pas sûr qu’il irait sur mon ordinateur portable, à cause du système de verrouillage situé sous le module. C’est avec plaisir que j’ai pu constater que ce produit disposait du système de verrouille. Il s’ajuste parfaitement à mon Lenovo Thinkpad T430. Ainsi après avoir monté le disque dur 2,5" avec les petites vises fournies, il suffit de le pousser dans le logement du graveur DVD dans lequel il vient se clipser au fond, dans le système de verrouillage, où l’on entend "click". Le montage est facile et très rapide. Je l’ai utilisé pour rajouter un disque SSD à ma machine. En résumé, parfait pour mon T430. Livraison rapide et soigné.
