Need 2nd HDD Caddy for MBP

I have a MBP 4,1 (MB166, 17" Early 2008), this is the last style before apple went to unibody.
I'm looking for a 2nd HDD caddy for my comp, all the ones I am finding are only for unibody! Wondering if anyone knows a place to get a pre-unibody one, thanks!

Do some research on this one. It's listed to fit the 4.1 (and even earlier PowerBooks): http://www.powerbookmedic.com/DualDrive---Add-a-Second-Hard-Drive-to-your-Laptop -p-17316.html

Where would i get 2nd hdd cable for hp dv7-series (long cable) that would ship to finland.

Where would i get 2nd hdd cable for dv7 series (long one) THAT would ship to Finland. (as the subject says eh')

Hei:
It depends on where in the dv7 model series your PC falls.
There are 2 types of second HDD cables. The one Kamat pointed out for the dv7 6xxx series, and then there is this one at the link below for these dv7 series:

So, you will need to know what dv7 you have.
I believe they ship worldwide. A forum member from Italy got his from here. That is how I know about this site, and all about the fact that there are 2 types of 2nd HDD cables for dv7's.
The only part number referenced for a 2nd HDD cable in the service manual is for the dv7-6xxx series.

Re : T400 2764CTO, 2nd HDD Adapter for an Ultrabay Slim, to be used in the DVD bay

What is the part # for the 2nd HDD Adapter for an Ultrabay Slim, to be used in the DVD bayCan you also confirm it is a SATA connection, I have already been sent an IBM P/N 41U3148 which has the IDE connection and appears not to fit.
Thanks for help

Actually, it is entirely accurate. Here is another related thread with a lot of pictures that demonstrate the problem. I have 3 Lenovo W520s and 3 useless Lenovo Ultramedia bay adapters. I cannot tolerate the gap because it causes frequent drive dismounts when I pick up the laptop when it is running or even touching the side. The newmodeus adapters I purchased to replace the defective Lenovo adapters have been rock solid! I recommend visiting all the picture links on this thread. It will clearly demonstrate the problem:

Shan, it isn't entirely correct because we have a lot of W510 and W520 users in my company this doesn't occur with. I am not discounting the problem. I only take exception to the statement that blankets ALL users and ALL hard drive adaptors. Doing that is incorrect.

Make sure that the HDD1 with its model is on the Boot priority order list. If it is on the Excluded from boot order list, it is disabled.

2nd HDD Bracket for SFF P300?

I recently purchased a Thinkstation P300 SFF machine that came configured with a 3.5" 1TB primary HDD.
I would now like to add a second 3.5" hard disk drive, but I need a bracket to install it into. That should be simple, right?
Unfortunately, after multiple calls to Lenovo sales and tech support...nobody can find a part number for this hard drive bracket. I've tried to order it twice - once they sent me a 2.5" HDD bracket that fits in my P300, but won't fit my 3.5" HDD. The second time, they sent me a 3.5" HDD bracket, but the bracket was for the tower version, not the SFF version of the P300.
According to the system specs and hardware manuals, the SFF P300 will accomodate TWO 3.5" HDD's.
It should not take this much trouble to add a second HDD to a "workstation" class machine.
Can anyone help? Is there a part number for this thing? Is anyone there?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

1. Yes, my P300 came with a DVD/RW. I think it is standard height. The bracket holding the ODD is 1/2" taller than the bracket holding the primary HDD.
2. Yes...the front panel includes a card reader, plus microphone input, headphone output, and 2 USB 3.0 slots.
It appears to me that there is room in the case for the 2nd HDD - it looks like the bracket for drive #2 has room to be installed against drive #1 (the bracket should allow them to connect together without screws, per the hardware manual).
I can post photos of the inside and outside of the unit, if that would help.
The unit I purchased was from CDW...here's the URL for it on their site.
Oh...and I will need a "bracket kit", including SATA data and power cables. There are only two SATA power cables on the motherboard, and those are both already taken up, so I will need some sort of power cable splitter in order to power both HDD's.
I suspect that this is an issue on your end...I've contacted both Sales and Support, multiple times, and neither one has been able to find me the bracket kit that I need.
I'm getting ready to return the P300 to CDW, because if I can't install a 2nd HDD, it's not useful to me. I would prefer to keep it, but not in its present state.
Thanks.

T540p 2nd hdd caddy problem

Hello everyone
I got my new thinkpad t540p and by caddy for 2nd hdd for it
Bought here - ebay caddy for thinkpad t540p
And I have a problem
I replaced optical drive by caddy, but OS don't found 2nd hdd.
It is not in Windows device manager. and not in bios boot list.
Optical drive works fine, OS detects it.
I check caddy by connected it on usb adapter - all works. Hdd works. Try with 2 hdd and 1 ssd.
It not work in caddy
Do somebody have any ideas what I doing wrong?

I purchased the HDD caddy from Amazon and no, it will not work. I have tried four HDD in the adapter - nothing. The computer does not mount it or recognize it. This appears to be a problem. The adapter is well made, includes the bezel which matches perfectly. On any drive I can remove the caddy and connect by cable to usb port and all drives work. The system does not recognize a caddy. Period. The BIOS has an entry to enable CD/HDD in ultrabay and it is enabled. So, not likely to work unless Lenovo can step in and help.

HDD-Caddy for Ideadpad S10e

Hello,
Today I've received my Ideapad S10e (the SSD-Version NS846GE9). Now I'd like to install a hdd into the empty slot, but I've noticed that there's no caddy to tighten the hdd in the slot. In the other Ideapad Versions I saw a caddy which is holding the hdd.
My question is: Is it usual that there is no caddy in the hdd slot in the SSD version? Where can I get a caddy for my Ideapad? Do the caddies from the Thinkpads fit in? Because then I would buy one since I cant find any caddy for Ideapads.
Greetings,
gekko

2nd HDD caddy replacing optical drive for HP Pavilion 15-e073ca Notebook PC & Windows 10

Hello ! I am planning to add a SSD to my two-years-old HP Pavilion 15-e073ca Notebook PC. I found on some sites that I can remove the optical drive and put a second drive using a caddy adapter into the optical drive bay. I found that some people on the forum have done it successfully, but nothing about my PC model. I want to know if it could work with my product. In other words, there is my plan:1-Remove the actual HDD from the hard drive bay and replace it with the new SSD.2-Remove the optical drive and replace it with the caddy adapter containing my old HDD.3-Do a clean install of Windows 10 on the SSD, using a USB recovery flash drive made with my actual Windows 10 system (which was updated from Windows 8.1). I am planning to buy the following parts:1- a HDD / SSD caddy adapter for HP Pavilion 15 (model OBHD9-SATA-SATA-BU9), from NewmodeUS (http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_5&products_id=583)2- a 128 GB SSD drive (item SDSSDHP-128G), from SanDisk (http://www.sandisk.com/products/ssd/sata/ultra-plus/?capacity=128gb) I have some questions before buying the parts:1- Will the two drives (my old HDD and the new SSD) be recognized by the motherboard / BIOS and the operating system (Windows 10)? Is there a limit of one unique HDD/SSD drive on the computer?2- The height of the SSD is 7mm, and it seems that my old HDD is 9.5mm height (model WDC WD10JPVT-60A1YT0). Would it cause any problem (would I need to add spacers)?3- Do these parts work together and with my computer (size, compatibility)? Do you expect any problem with this upgrade?4- Will the clean install of Windows 10 work, since I plan to install it on a different drive than the one I used to create the USB recovery flash drive? I have never done a clean Windows installation before. Thanks in advance for your replies.Haghe

Hi:
Use the W7 32 bit drivers and software from the Probook 450 G2 except the graphics, firmware and BIOS files.

Any idea where I can find a cable that fits -- tech support wasnt much help on the phone. But very polite.

Below is the link to the cable I believe you need.

Caddy for secondary Harddrive in MBP

My advise for using a caddy for MBP 2012 []i7 []16mb; primary drive 750gb; Secondary 1T(now) 128gb SSD(Before)
The result from after 6months of using a secondary hd for the macbook Pro, I arrived at the conclusion as unreliable for keeping anything you needed for safe keeping.
A. should not be used as a backup drive for data of necessary
B. Should be use as a trash can.
C. Death Cab for Caddy (since it is created a oneway system of dropping data without able to retrieve and backup/dead SSD 1/ Saved Data 0)

and as most unbelievable things its not true, you can still replace the SSD on both the retina and non retina macbooks. Ram in the only thing you cant replace because of it being soldered (on the retina only).
The ssd in the retina is proprietary so we have to wait for someone to release a compatable module, but it does infact unscrew and come out.
The non-retina macbooks should be as upgradable (hdd and ram wise) as much as the 2011 edition.

HP dv 7 4050ea HDD caddy search

Hello
I know that this has been asked a few times, but the sheer number of different caddies for different ranges of HP laptops out there scares me, so I decided to ask.
I want to add a second hard drive to my dv7 4050ea Pavillion notebook.However, I am unsure as to which caddy models are compatible. The best match I have found yet is this:
http://uk.eetnordic.com/product.aspx?id=KIT340&path=MicroStorage-2nd-HDD-Caddy-Cable-for-HP
I am still not sure if it is the correct one though, and I do not know the site so I am reluctant.
So, can someone here possibly help me find out which caddy I need to buy, and if possible, point me towards a trustworthy site which ships to the UK or to Greece? Would it be possible to order this part directly from HP, and if so, where?
Thanks.
This question was solved.

This looks OK but I have more experience with newmodeus.com:
