Great quality. Must have if you do not wish to get your laptop opened and just increase the disk capacity Great quality. Must have if you do not wish to get your laptop opened and just increase the disk capacity

Again I used this product to retro-fit another MacBook Pro this time a 2012 model for another drive and partition for a second boot. This means I can work on the new Catalina boot to be ported for all my recording audio software while still using the old High Sierra stable boot. Its' a winner! Having a working boot in stable mode and building the updated boot and porting all software takes time, so this configuration is the only way to go.

I refitted a MacBook Pro 15inch 2011 for a second drive bay and this unit was only a 10 min job with 100% compliance. Great! I refitted a MacBook Pro 15inch 2011 for a second drive bay and this unit was only a 10 min job with 100% compliance. Great!

Drive caddy its perfectly into my 2010 Macbook Pro - just a caution it does not come with the connector so remember to keep the connector from the original disk drive!

(Temporarily) replace your DVD drive with this. I used this for copying my old laptop data at SATA speed. NB Make sure you get the right depth for your computer.

Works as expected, macbook pro mid-2010 (7,1) and late-2011 (8,2). The 2010 model runs the SATA3 ssd hd at 3.0G, while the 2011 model runs it at 6.0G. Both are worlds better than the native hard drives, of course, and since both optical drives were faulty when I replaced them, it was a no-brainer to swap them out. Paid less than $250 (drive and caddy) for a completely new computer in both cases. Could also upgrade the RAM at some point, but I'm happy with the performance for now.

Was pleasantly surprised how little it took to slide in to a friend's 13" MacBook Pro, as the adapter comes with a tiny Phillips head screw driver built in. With Optical drives becoming less and less useful, what else are you going to do with your old hard drive once you upgrade to an SSD? Great stuff.
