Remove blu ray drive and add a hdd bay possible?

[passion4tech]

I own Asus G551VW FY212T. It is a real pain in the ass how laptops have limited space for storage. I can't add a hdd & ssd in laptop unless I remove the blu ray drive. I can't stand the slow storage speeds from the seagate hybrid drive. The seagate hybrid drive is just too slow I'm not pleased 🙁 How can I add hdd bay on this laptop?

Probably need to remove the BD drive and get a laptop DVD/BD enclosure to 2.5", I did this on an older Dell.

Something like this:

Yes, i have done this on several computers.

I have seen some very cheap crappy caddys and some good ones, i always recommend the silverstone ones which are < $20 on amazon.
There is two different thickness sizes of laptop so will have to see how thick your BR-Drive is.

Will need to remove the dvd-drive front cover and attach it to caddy:
