Review: Fits, works, and it was easy too - I picked this up to give an old laptop an extra SSD. Normally, I would be opposed to disabling an optical drive. But, I am repurposing this laptop as a server that will sit in a rack until it dies. I tried just removing one screw from the laptop in approximately the position I thought would be holding the optical drive. It actually worked. So, that's an awesome pro tip. The size was perfect for the laptop slot. The included screws fit my new SSD perfectly. I did have some trouble getting the front bezel to attach. But, I believe that isn't the fault of this tray. I was pleasantly surprised when I added the screw hole to the back of this tray and the two holes were already present. My laptop picked up the new SSD in the DVD drive slot just fine. The BIOS also has settings to boot from it. So, connectivity is just fine. ## Features - Universal 12.7mm SATA 2nd HDD SSD Enclosure Hard Drive Caddy Case Tray for Laptop CD DVD-ROM Optical Bay Drive Slot - 12.7 mm-thick Combo/SuperDrive with 13pin Slimline SATA interface.

The other dimensions are standards. Take the drive out of your notebook computer and measure the thickness with a metric ruler. There are three thicknesses: 12.5mm, 9mm, and 7mm. Smaller should fit a larger thickness bay, but you may have to add some padding to make up the difference. Larger than your bay will, of course, not fit. So order a size small if you are unsure or if there's a great deal on a 7mm drive and you have a 9mm drive installed. You can just put some foam or a bit of cardboard in there to take up the slack. In short, the only really crucial factor is not to buy a drive THICKER than your computer can accomodate. **Q: Can a kingston 2.5 fit a sata hard drive caddy, universal 12.7 mm sata to sata 2nd ssd hdd hard drive caddy adapter tray enclosures ?** A: It appears that the caddy is designed to fit just about any standard 2.5" drive. In my Asus laptop I replaced the WD blue hard drive with a SSD and moved the 2.5 WD to this caddy. I no longer needed the CD/DVD. **Q: Will a 7mm ssd fit in this caddy?** A: yes! my sandisk ssd is 7mm and it fits into an 12.7mm and 9.7mm hdd caddy. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for my needs. *by E***N on August 2, 2026* This worked well in a older HP laptop. I can easily swap out the DVD drive for a hard drive with it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fits, works, and it was easy too *by F***T on December 5, 2025* I picked this up to give an old laptop an extra SSD. Normally, I would be opposed to disabling an optical drive. But, I am repurposing this laptop as a server that will sit in a rack until it dies. I tried just removing one screw from the laptop in approximately the position I thought would be holding the optical drive. It actually worked. So, that's an awesome pro tip. The size was perfect for the laptop slot. The included screws fit my new SSD perfectly. I did have some trouble getting the front bezel to attach. But, I believe that isn't the fault of this tray. I was pleasantly surprised when I added the screw hole to the back of this tray and the two holes were already present. My laptop picked up the new SSD in the DVD drive slot just fine. The BIOS also has settings to boot from it. So, connectivity is just fine. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ With some ingenuity I made it work! *by L***R on October 28, 2024* This is a handy tray that I used on an HP envy-class laptop that I worked on customizing. When a modern laptop sold in the past decade only ships from a Walmart with a DVD R/W optical drive, it might as well get ripped out and replaced. Blu-ray or No Way! So I converted the optical drive bay into a hidden SSD drive bay with little to no problem. Unlike the optical drive, and this is a minor issue only, there is no way to screw this in place as the optical drive had a tab on it that allows the bottom cover to screw into it. I used 2 screws to mount the drive bay to the SSD and they also provided enough pressure to make sure the drive bay doesn’t come unmounted with normal use. I also attached a small strip of duct tape to the bottom of the bay to allow for easy removal if I ever need to change out the drive. The flat plastic cover that ships with the bay to look like a desktop PC optical tray door came off relatively easy with some careful wiggling and I was able to attach by pressing the plastic laptop optical drive bay door with no glue needed so it looks stick on the outside. I had no issue with drive recognition after formatting the drive externally with another computer. This bay seems to fit in the laptop readily due to its shape but always check before buying to make sure you are getting the correct fitting part. This bay is slip and I could only squeeze one 2.5” SSD in it at a time. For the price this works extremely well and I have had zero issues since first install. ## Frequently Bought Together - SATA Hard Drive Caddy, Universal 12.7 mm SATA to SATA 2nd SSD HDD Hard Drive Caddy Adapter Tray Enclosures for DELL HP Lenovo ThinkPad ACER Gateway ASUS Sony Samsung MSI Laptop - Kingston 240GB A400 SATA 3 2.5" Internal SSD SA400S37/240G - HDD Replacement for Increase Performance - HIGHFINE Universal 9.5mm SATA to SATA 2nd SSD HDD Hard Drive Caddy Adapter Tray Enclosures for DELL HP Lenovo ThinkPad ACER Gateway ASUS Sony Samsung MSI Laptop --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/46381482-universal-sata-hard-drive-caddy-adapter-tray-enclosures-for-dell](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/46381482-universal-sata-hard-drive-caddy-adapter-tray-enclosures-for-dell) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-09-13*
