Cam Khao Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hi folks, Has anyone seen something like this for sale in Thailand? Either online to in a shop? It lets you replace a laptop DVD drive with a SATA HDD. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarn Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Haven't seen a caddy advertised in Thailand, but they are of course available on ebay.com. If you are using a laptop, you might be surprised how easy it is to swap hard drives (mine has a plastic cover over the drive bay, with one Phillips-head screw to remove). BIOS gets less confused (ie. requires you to make fewer changes) when only one drive is connected. Anyway, something to twiddle with until you find your caddy. AA ps. if you go this route, probably a good idea to detach battery before changing HDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I'm sure I saw these in Fortune last year, unfortunately when I went looking again of course they were nowhere to be found. Got one in Singapore (Sim Lim Square), no use to our OP I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam Khao Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) Thanks guys, I already changed the HDD in the laptop, switched to an SSD, I now want to put the original HDD into the optical bay, replacing the broken DVD drive that is in it at the moment. It looks like I'll have to ebay one of these over then. Cam. Edited January 24, 2013 by Cam Khao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
