Nimitz 2nd HDD SSD Hard Drive Caddy - Compatible with Lenovo Thinkpad T400 T400s T410 T410s T420s T430s T500 W500 Review

I bought this to replace the DVD drive in my Lenovo ThinkPad T-410 so I could use my SSD as my boot drive and the rest on yours 1TB hard drive can pack ride. in that wagon what I did. This product has worked flawlessly and probably still will, except for the m-PCIE port for the Wi-Fi card and the 8 IK and ] keys that don't work anymore so I haven't used this laptop since use. But this HDD/SDD cage works great!

Used it as a replacement for the CD/DVD burner on a Lenovo ThinkPad T430s to move the included hard drive into the expansion bay. This allowed me to plug the SSD into the main HDD slot and install Windows there.

I use it to store and access all my photos that I use for Lightroom, so the faster transfer speed (compared to USB 2.0…

I have a W500 which should have a Win7 image. I bought this product to create a 320GB drive image on a new WD Black 1TB drive. The 9.5mm drive fits perfectly and the included screws hold it securely.

Well, first things first - it works. Installation was as simple as popping it in to a 2.5" 7mm SSD (an old one I had lying around), using the four screws provided and a screwdriver to secure it, then popping it in the case of my T430s.

Eventually this noise stopped after a while but it was…
