This is perfect for Lenovo Y510p, look no further

Online shopping can discourage returns, but if you're replacing your DVD player with a second hard drive then this is for you. I keep this in my y510p as a backup drive and keep a DVD player handy in case I want to use it. I can change anyone in less than a minute!

Great product, best in the Computers & Accessories category

If I could change one thing about the product, I would just remove the…

Works as advertised. The missing parenthesis is not a problem.

While Lenovo still offers an official alternative I would recommend sticking with this one as Lenovo's prices have always been extravagant and I doubt you'll notice the difference. A caddy is an inconspicuous and not really conspicuous addition to a computer. The plastic on the front of the basket even seems to match the texture of the Y150p. I move my laptop around a lot and the lack of a mount has never been a problem. Caddy doesn't seem to move a bit.

Attention, there is a DIP switch on the side.

I spent several hours trying to get my Y510P to recognize a drive with this cart. I was disgusted and put it off for a while and then came back and tried again. I have verified that the drive itself works fine with my computer when connected to a drive dock or external SATA adapter. The car itself seems to be the problem. Oh, and in addition to not seeing the drive when it's in the caddy, there's also some conflict when the caddy is in use because the machine will boot FOREVER to get to the…
