Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

My system is a 2018 hp laptop with a ryzen3 2200u processor, with a 1tb hdd, and 16gb of ram installed. It is very cheap, but what do you expect for the price. Great for replacing laptopcd with an ssd drive.

Good read/write speeds in my rig. It looks ugly, but it works; and i don't have to go to the hassle of returning. It works, but performance is slower.

Ditching an old dvd drive and replacing it with a ssd is a great example.

Sata connector from this drive works perfectly, and the sata power is an exact match to the only available power on the optiplex sff. Fit perfectly inside a dell xps 8930.



Cons

My main disappointment is the size and not compatible with two different drive fronts. Measure your cd driver height before buy. It's too thick to fit in my laptop.

    My 2013 acer aspire laptop has been seldom used since its manufacturing but since upgrading to windows 10 my disk readwrite speed on my original hdd was always maxed out so that even trying to open a rightclick menu would take like 40 seconds


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The bezel cover on the caddy doesnt really work with my laptop and since i didnt have a cd drive to begin with there wasnt any bezel for me to pop out and reuse so there is a open slot on the side of the laptop where the caddy is installed


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The caddy doesnt have anything other than its connection to secure it in place

    I bought this exact same thing again after 6 years for a different laptop
