QUMOX Laptop 2nd HDD SSD DVD Bay Caddy Adapter for 2.5''/9.5mm Universal CD/DVD-ROM SATA TO SATA Hard Drive External Enclosure

Installation was easy and fast, and is working great in the computer. Doesn't feel like it's made from the best materials but fit and finish is good. Interesting mounting system for hard drive. Screwdriver built in to the housing and snaps in the recess for the hard drive after use.Only complaint was it was shipped with insufficient protection, just a padded envelope. When received hard drive adapter was dented. Have to carefully take apart and bend the shell back into shape before I could use it.

Install went quick and easy, perfect for adding another hard drive or ssd. Make sure you get the right size and measure cause there are a few different depths and styles to consider depending on the age of your laptop

A really cheap simple solution for a removable disk drive on my PC.I have a trusty powerhouse Dell Precision M6800, 2013 vintage, running Windows 10, fully expanded in terms of RAM and disk drives. The one thing that stands out on this machine is the multiplicity of built in ports and ease of expansion.OK, down to business….1. I often have the need to copy many videos from this machine to my MacBook M1, and unfortunately USB 3.1 connection or SD cards can’t hack it as they are so slow. Of course this vintage machine doesn’t support USB-C which would have been faster but still not as fast as direct disk connection.2. So, the answer for me was to swap the internal DVD read/writer for a caddy that can house a 2.5” drive of my choice (usually SSD) then make that simply removable so that I can swiftly swap disks around and have very fast file copies.3. This caddy does the job brilliantly. As will be seen from the pictures I have deliberately not fitted the securing screw between caddy and PC, and then (yes, it’s a bodge) attached some strong adhesive duct tape to allow simple removal (“eject”) without taking the machine apart.4. Copy from internal SSD to the caddy based SSD runs at 550 MB/sec, much better than 20-40 using SD or USB3.All works as expected first time.On the very rare occasions I need to use a CD/DVD then I can simply connect my external DVD drive that I use on my MacBook, via a USB-C to USB3 adapter.Furthermore, I have swapped the position of the internal System Disk to “Secondary drive” and my Data disk to the “Primary drive” position, so that even the data disk can be simply removed without screws. The Bios recognised the swap so I didn’t even have to change the boot order.

Praticamente perfetto, viene adattato al posto del lettore cd , mi raccomando in fase di acquisto fate attenzione allo spessore del vostro lettore, di solito lo standard è 9.5 ma controllate.L'installazione è semplice e veloce, recuperate il blocco vite dal lettore quello che lo fissa al case del portatile(nel caso fosse presente), va svitato dal lettore e fissato all'adattatore. prima di inserire l'ha vdovete smollare i blocchi , sono due vitine ai lati, e ricavvitare dopo aver messo l'hd, serve per mantenerlo fisso nel case. Funziona perfettamente ottimo

It was a bit fiddly to fit inside the Samsung laptop. It was easier to fit by inserting it while the laptop was upside down, then turn it over to press it all the way in, then fit the locking screw. Otherwise, allows me to use a second drive with no problems.
