💾 Newmodeus HDD / SSD Caddy Compatible with Lenovo Thinkpad T420, T430, T510, T520, T530, W510, W520, W530 Review

Works with ThinkPad T420. Many competing Revain products are designed specifically for the T420, but reviews say otherwise. So rest assured, if the description includes your model of this product, it will work. The quality seems decent, but it's actually not that much. Loading and unloading discs is a little tricky as you can't move it so it has to be inserted at an angle, but whatever. Comes with a case which I think is fine but more importantly it comes with flush mount screws for attaching…

Does what it says on the tin. the angle at which the SATA/power connectors should bend. To get the drive out, I had to stick a paper clip through one of the mounting screw holes to slide the drive out of its case and grab it, which in turn bends the SATA connectors. I would recommend putting a tape or something on your drive so you can get hold of it. It is also not recommended to insert and remove the drive from the container too many times, as you may damage the SATA connectors and render the

First of all I chose the Newmodeus Caddy suitcase from other options, in large part due to cleaning the front panel up shown in the photo. The case I received has a faceplate from a CD drive with an activity light. It also doesn't sit flush with the edge of my Thinkpad T420 (see photo). Functionally it works as advertised. It inserts and extracts with no problems, hot swap works in Xubuntu with some configuration. Tested with Intel SSD and WD HDD. The speeds are good. The mounting solution uses

First Thoughts: I just bought this drive bay to replace a cheap $5 (or less, I forgot) Chinese tray I bought on ebay . This cheap Chinese one still works great but it just has a cheap plastic thing holding the drive in place and since I have a laptop that can withstand military drop standards etc I wanted my hard drive to be a little more secure. at a cost of around $35. I like the W520 laptop so I bought this tablet. It includes 4 screws to attach to the hard drive and all 4 are perfect for…

This item is exactly as described and I could have taken the same photos of the unit supplied as in the description. Highly recommended! I put my newly purchased Seagate SSHD 1GB drive in the unit (it fits snugly but goes in with no problem). I installed the 4 screws that the cart came with. I put the caddy in my Lenovo T530. Did. It showed up on the system immediately upon boot and I haven't had any issues with it at all since I installed it (this SSHD contains images of the various VMs I run…

I bought Newmodeus, a second HDD/SSD container to replace a failed hard drive and it is a perfect match for Lenovo. Overall this is a great device and excellent value for money. The assembly is good, as is the appearance. The only thing that bothers me is the installation of the drive in the caddy. This unit was designed to mount a drive through the bottom with a set of screws, but on a few different drives I've tested, I've found that the drive fits "tighter than I'd like" in the basket. and…
