Hardware [laptop users] HDD caddy replacement for ODD.

[DinohScene]

In my particular case, my laptop's ODD SATA controller was SATA I, while the HDD controller was a SATA II, and nowhere in the BIOS were any RAID options. Even if there were, two RAIDed SATA I speed SSDs wouldn't get you anywhere too quickly with that much of a bottleneck. Barely any faster than a 7200RPM mechanical HDD.

It's an old '07 lappy.
It isn't the fastest at all.
I already settled on JBOD so eh, I'm not to bothered by it.
Atleast it'll be used now.

Anyway, installing the thing as we speak.

To anyone that is still interested.

I've been using it for quite a while and never even once have I regretted doing it.
It is amazing how much extra storage space you can put into it without carrying USB harddrives.

I deffo recommend it to anyone who's not using their laptops optical drive or to those who got broken optical drives.

You ever have to toggle that switch near the top of the caddy I was talking about?
