Laptop optical-bay storage upgrade

This caddy replaces a 9.5mm CD or DVD drive with a second SATA solid-state drive. It accepts either an mSATA module or an NGFF B-key or B/M-key module, selected by a physical switch on the adapter. No cables, external power or driver installation are required. The drive appears to the system exactly like the primary internal disk.

Adds a second drive without removing the original

The adapter fits into the existing slimline 13-pin optical bay, so the factory storage stays in place. Users gain extra capacity for backups, a separate operating system or a dual-boot configuration. Only one module type — mSATA or NGFF — can be active at a time; the switch must be set before installation. M-key NGFF modules are not supported.

Sustained operation matches the primary drive

Once seated and latched, the SSD runs at the host SATA link speed with no thermal throttling reported for typical laptop workloads. The all-metal frame conducts heat into the chassis, and the plug-and-play connection remains stable through sleep, wake and reboot cycles. Performance is consistent with a drive installed in the main storage slot.
