📦 Nimitz 2nd HDD SSD Hard Drive Caddy for Dell Latitude E6440 E6540: Ultimate Storage Upgrade with Ejector Review

I used Caddy to enable a second SSD in my Dell laptop. The whole operation took no more than 5 minutes. The caddy is perfect for a new drive and laptop. Great use of the CD box. I recommend this device.

Works great! And indeed the data transfer is fast also because I used SSHD. The only bad thing is that it doesn't fit exactly like the CD/DVD bay (I'm attaching pictures of the CD/DVD bay and then this second HDD/SDD/SSDH bay so you can see the gap). It seems he's about to fall from his seat, but he's not. So far I'm happy with it. It also allowed me to create a RAID array with both drives in the laptop, which is cool but since both are different sizes (primary drive: 250GB SSD, 2nd drive…

I use it with a Dell Latitude E6440 and it fits perfectly in the CD/DVD drive bay. Installation is also easy and took about 10 minutes. The caddy comes with 3 screws to fix the hard drive in the slot, so you can rest assured that the hard drive won't come out if you take out the caddy frequently. I use it with a SanDisc 500GB hard drive with Windows 7 and it works without any problems. The only annoying thing is its blue light, which never goes out and stays on even when the hard drive isn't…

Used to move data from my internal SSD to a backup SSD in my Dell Latitude laptop. External light indicates the data transmission is good. Works great: moved >500GB of data in less than 1 hour!

Product failed 8 days after the 30 day warranty expired. The light doesn't come on. The drive works fine when connected via an external USB adapter, but not with this adapter. The slot in the laptop works well with the installed optical drive. During the day it worked sporadically and then went off completely. I don't expect such a simple product to fail like that, but since everything else works in single testing I can't come to any other conclusion. I do not recommend.

I use this on my work laptop. I use it to quickly swap and read customer disks on failed laptops. Ubuntu and 880GB or so as NTFS partition for data storage in Windows installations. That works great! Love the plastic spacer that holds the drives securely but is easy to remove!

Looks like OEM except for the quality of the plastic on the front panel. Holds the drive in place and even has tapered screws that fit into the drive's mounting holes to hold it in place. The light on the side that would otherwise indicate optical drive activity in amber has been replaced with a blue/red LED that is fairly bright. Other than that it was a great car and it even has a spring loaded locking mechanism.

If I had known this existed many years ago I would have bought it many years ago. Suddenly my optical drive bay has a purpose other than sitting and collecting dust 99.99% of the time. - works with both legacy and UEFI boot - supports physical (platter) drives and my 0.5TB SSD - sits flush with the case and the eject mechanism works great - disk information and activity lights are a feature of which I never knew I needed them (but now I can't live without them!) There are a few improvements…

Stumbled across a niche when I needed something like this, worked great, couldn't get the drive bay door but it fitted the drive bay perfectly, didn't seem to notice any speed loss either with the SSD I've been using , will definitely bookmark this next time I run into this issue
