12.7mm SATA HDD Caddy for Optical Drive Slot

This caddy replaces a laptop's CD or DVD drive with a 2.5-inch SATA hard drive or SSD. It fits 12.7mm, 9.5mm and 7mm high drive bays and is designed for Apple Unibody MacBook and MacBook Pro models from 2008 to 2010. The aluminium tray adds a second storage device without using the primary drive slot.

Check Optical Drive Height and SATA Compatibility

Verify that your laptop's optical drive bay matches one of the supported heights: 12.7mm, 9.5mm or 7mm. Confirm the system uses a SATA interface for the optical drive so the caddy can communicate at up to 6Gbps. The host machine must also be able to boot from or address a drive in the secondary bay if you plan to use it as a primary or RAID volume.

Adds a Second Drive Bay Using the SuperDrive Slot

The caddy slides into the existing SuperDrive opening, securing the new drive with four screws and a hollow base that promotes airflow. It supports hot swapping so the drive can be removed without shutting down. This frees the original drive bay for the system drive while expanding total capacity for data, backups or a dual-boot setup.

Questions about this item

Does the caddy come with a 2.5" SATA drive or must I supply my own?

The tray is an empty enclosure; you must provide your own 2.5" SATA HDD or SSD.

Which drive height matches the 12.7mm optical bay in my MacBook Pro 15?

The caddy fits 12.7mm, 9.5mm and 7mm high drives, so any standard 2.5" SATA drive will work.

What does the 6Gbps SATA III rating mean for real-world transfer speed?

It sets the interface ceiling at 6Gbps; actual throughput depends on the drive you install and your laptop's SATA controller.
