Pros & Cons
Pros
Remove plastic spacer first and then reinsert. Simple remove the keyboard to gain access to the single phillip screw securing the dvd thingy. Only complaint is that there isn't an easy eject system with the caddy.
Works like it says. Works as advertised. It beats duct tape.
Great value. It is sturdy, durable and a quality product. Very satisfied with my purchase.
Fits perfectly in the optical bay. It holds the hard drive tightly. It fits snugly and i'm not worried about it moving around.
Cons
Rma isn't worth the trouble for an $8 piece of cheap metal (this is probably the sign i should have used my better judgement). Not as shown in picture. There is an led that constantly status lit.
