Who To Find It is Suitable For Your Laptop To determine if the 2nd HDD/SSD caddy will fit your laptop, you need to check a few key specifications: 1. Thickness of the Optical Drive Bay: This caddy is 9.5mm thick, which is a common size for many laptops. However, some laptops have a 12.7mm optical drive bay. You need to verify your laptop's optical drive thickness. You can check this by: Referring to your laptop’s manual or specifications sheet. Physically measuring the optical drive after ejecting it. 2. Optical Drive Type: Ensure that your laptop has a removable optical drive (CD/DVD drive). Not all modern laptops have one, especially ultrabooks or slim models. 3. SATA Interface: The caddy supports SATA III (6 Gbps), which is the standard for most laptops. If your optical drive bay uses a SATA interface, it should work fine. Some older laptops might use a different interface, so you should confirm your optical drive's interface type in the laptop manual. 4. Laptop Model Compatibility: Most standard laptops with optical drive bays (9.5mm or 12.7mm) will be compatible with the caddy, especially those from brands like Dell, HP, Lenovo, Acer, ASUS, etc. However, checking your model number against the specs will ensure it fits. How to Check: Manual/Online Search: Check your laptop's model specifications online or in its user manual for the optical drive dimensions (9.5mm or 12.7mm) and interface type. Measuring: Eject your optical drive, measure its height (thickness), and compare it to the caddy's 9.5mm thickness. If your laptop has a 9.5mm optical drive slot with a SATA interface, this caddy will fit perfectly.
