2nd 2.5'' SATA HDD SSD Hard Drive Disk DVD CD ROM Optical SuperDrive Caddy Tray Adapter for Apple Unibody MacBook/MacBook Pro 13 15 17 Early mid Late 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012.etc

Used this item to install a second hard drive in my trusty MacBook Pro 2012 (v9,2). I travel a lot, and I've grown tired of limited integrated on-the-go storage for my image and graphics files. And I don't like traveling/flying with an external drive. So I took the plunge on this and installed a Seagate 2TB FireCuda drive as a second, media storage drive. (my primary drive is a 1TB samsung EVO) The install went fine, it fits perfectly, but the whole disassembly/reassembly process is a bit tricky with the miniature screws involved. Pro Tip: a slightly magnetized screw driver is amazingly helpful. As other reviewers have said, there are basically no "real" instructions included with this caddy, so do yourself a huge favor and google how to do it before you get at it. It will save you time and heartache, and maybe even a trip to the repair shop if you break one of the many small components inside your MacBook. Highly recommended. Also, to retain the ability to play CDs and DVDs (at my desk) occasionally, I picked up an LG external writer/player for like $25 here on Amazon. Works like a charm. No need to go SuperDrive. And I wouldn't bother messing with putting the newly liberated internal DVD drive in a third party case. Not worth the hassle for a 6 year old drive, IMO.

I have bought three of these in the last month, I work in it and I have upgraded several clients computers to a dual hard drive system instead of using their DVD superdrive which they never use and these fit perfectly, the review saying that they don't come with the right screws or whatever are totally incorrect, this comes with 4 screws built into the sides with a hard drive goes so you just put the harddrive in the tray and look at the side and you'll see two holes on each side with screws already in them you just have to tighten it up and then install the whole assembly per the instructions, it is a very simple fix /customisation just take your time and be patient when unplugging the wires on your Mac so you don't pull something off the logic board or strip out of screw etcetera if you don't know how to install stuff in a computer have a computer shop do it for you but this upgrade literally takes me about 12 minutes to do every time I've done many of them and these harddrive trays work perfectly as long as you buy them for the correct year Mac which several are compatible. I will definitely buy again as I've already bought probably five of these over the last 2 years and three of them in the last month and they've always worked

Fit a 2011 13" MacBook Pro perfectly, and the drive was recognized with no problems. Speeds seem sufficient, but the connector on the machine is a SATA II, so I'd only use the optical bay for a platter HDD. Other laptops might use the faster SATA III.I ordered another drive caddy with a different brand name sticker attached to it, but the items were completely identical, down to the display card that comes in the package. In my opinion there is no need to buy an item like this branded specifically for Macs.I've seen some reviews claim that the build quality is low, but it seems great to me. It's basically a sheet metal and plastic holder with a SATA connector, but I'm not sure what else you need. It seems well made enough for $8. It comes with 4 screws to hold the drive in place, and a screwdriver.One note would be to remove the bracket from the back of the original optical drive and affix it to the caddy before installation, so the back has a way to mount to the computer. Installation took all of 10 minutes.

Great purchase to add a HDD or SDD if you don't need/want your CD port. I have a USB blue ray player so nothing really lost. I do recommend that if you buy one of these beauties, to watch a couple of videos on youtube. I put this in my mid 2012 MacBook Pro. OS Mohave proved too much for my Mac and I couldn't just roll back the OS. I found an old HDD that I had upgraded from in 2014 with an older OS on it. At that point I bought this product, a crucial 500gb SDD and a newer external case from Sabrent for $9.99. Installed the old HDD and trimmed it down a few gbs so it would clone to the Crucial. Put the Crucial in the external case and cloned the drive with Superduper!, then opened the Mac again and replaced the Crucial in the primary spot and installed my hdd in the caddy. It is a bit difficult, but watched an install video a few times to make sure I was on the right track. Sealed up and now my MacBook Pro is killing it again with High Sierra even faster than before.
