[loraalkhara]

hello everyone,



iam planning to get a HDD Caddy for all my laptops, i am planning to do the following for each laptop: each laptop has one hdd and iam planning to install a 60gb SSD for the system and a hdd caddy instead of the cd drive so i end with 60gb ssd and 1tb hdd.



now do yo guy think that this Caddy is good and will work great as in quality and lasting ?

There should be no issue if you leave it in all the time; there's a only a connector that can hardly go wrong unless they used really cheap metal.

so you mean that the quality of the hdd caddy itself is not important ? i mean I've seen some sort of a microcontroller PCB in the caddy and thought that depending on the quality of the PCB board the caddy will perform.

The caddy that you linked should have wiring or a PCB to connect the male and female SATA connectors, but I doubt it has other components for the asking price. That caddy is available from several sites, including Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/SANOXY-xae-caddy-12-7mm-Universal-DVD-ROM/dp/B0056EW4A4 There are several HDD caddy on the market, but most seem to be the same unit with a different name.
