  Yes you can. Here's the part you have to do with. Just remove the optical drive, add a hard disk in one of these adapters and replace it for the optical drive:

  You may also need to swap the façade of the old optical disc to make the installation of good look.

  I wouldn't use this for one SSD. An SSD belonged to the main disk space to enjoy the speed. The drive into the optical drive adapter will not be bootable and it will be not given quite as fast as the main hard drive transfer speeds. So if you have a drive in this card, a big (1 TB) and slow (5400 RPM) drive would be preferable. It will be purely for storage and it is still fast enough to see the video of for example but if you are doing video editing I would try not to edit videos from the optical drive Bay. Move them to the fastest reader first.

• I have a HP G71 model #G71-329WM. I need to replace the optical drive. What is the part number?

  My HP G71 model #G71-329WM will not load a CD or DVD so I need to replace the optical drive. What is the correct part number? Thank you

  Hello:

  Here is the link to the service manual for your laptop.

  http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c01713747.PDF

  Replacement of optical discs with reference numbers HP are in Chapter 3, page 33.

  You can also read the instructions in Chapter 4 on removing the drive and get the number off of it, which is normally on a white sticker.  A reference to 6 digit-3 digit number (123456-001)

  You can search by the number of coin on eBay for a used camera but work or you can probably buy a new one at HP by entering the part number on the link below.

  Thanks in advance!

  For clean installation try to download Microsoft Media creation tool first. Using the tool, you can download a copy of the Win 8.1 installer. Save 8.1 only and not the PRO. During installation, the installation program does not the product key but it detect automatically your bios.

  You will need to place the ssd instead of the original location of the hard drive to boot successfully.

• HP Pavilion 15-p263nl: 2nd HARD drive cart, replace the optical drive for HP Pavilion p263nl 15 Notebook PC & Windows 10

  Hi all!

  I intend to add an SSD for my HP Pavilion p263nl-15 Notebook PC. I found some sites that I can remove the optical drive and put a second drive using a caddy adapter in the optical drive Bay. I found that some people on the forum did it successfully, but nothing on my PC model. I want to know if he could work with my product.

  In other words, there is my plan:

  1 remove the real disk HDD hard bay and replace it with the new SSD.

  2. remove the optical drive and replace it with the adapter caddy containing my old HDD.

  3. do a clean install of Windows 10 on the SSD using a USB key recovery made with my real Windows 10 system (which has been updated from Windows 8.1 July 2016).

  I already have a 120 GB OCZ SSD (OCZ Vertex 3).

  I have a few questions before buying the adapter:

  1 - the two drives (my old HDD and the new SSD) are recognized by the motherboard / BIOS and the operating system (Windows, 10)? Is there a limit to a unique HARD/SSD disk drive on the computer?

  2 should. What size the card be? I found offers for 9.5 mm and 12.7 mm that are supposed to be suitable for HP Pavilion in general

  3 - these parts work together and with my computer (size, compatibility)? You can expect any problems with this upgrade?

  4 - clean install Windows 10 quote, because I intend to install it on a different drive than the one I used to create the key USB recovery flash? I have never done a clean install of Windows before.

  Thanks in advance for your answers.

  Alessandro

  p.s. in this section of the forum (where I took most of the post), the solution worked almost perfectly, but it's a different product of the Pavilion 15 ^^

  Hello

  1. Yes,

  2. your machines use 9.5 mm SATA Tray,

  3 problem? I can't answer this question because who knows nothing until the track.

  4. I don't know how you create USB recovery but a good new installation should work.

  Kind regards.

• HP Pavilion 15-e073ca: 2nd HARD drive cart, replace the optical drive for HP Pavilion e073ca 15 Notebook PC & Windows 10

  Hello!

  I intend to add an SSD in my two years 15-e073ca HP Pavilion Notebook PC. I found some sites that I can remove the optical drive and put a second drive using a caddy adapter in the optical drive Bay. I found that some people on the forum did it successfully, but nothing on my PC model. I want to know if he could work with my product.

  In other words, there is my plan:

  1 remove the real disk HDD hard bay and replace it with the new SSD.

  2. remove the optical drive and replace it with the adapter caddy containing my old HDD.

  3. do a clean install of Windows 10 on the SSD, using a recovery USB stick made with my system Windows 10 real (which has been updated from Windows 8.1).

  I plan to purchase the following parts:

  1 - a HDD / SSD cart adapter for HP Pavilion 15 (model OBHD9-SATA-SATA-BU9), of NewmodeUS (http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_5&products_id=583)

  2 - a SSD 128 GB (article SDSSDHP - 128G), SanDisk (http://www.sandisk.com/products/ssd/sata/ultra-plus/?capacity=128gb)

  I have a few questions before I buy parts:

  1 - the two drives (my old HDD and the new SSD) are recognized by the motherboard / BIOS and the operating system (Windows, 10)? Is there a limit to a unique HARD/SSD disk drive on the computer?

  2 - the height of the SSD is 7mm, and it seems that my old HDD is 9.5 mm in height (model WDC WD10JPVT-60A1YT0). It would cause no problem (I need to add spacers)?

  3 - these parts work together and with my computer (size, compatibility)? You can expect any problems with this upgrade?

  4 - clean install Windows 10 quote, because I intend to install it on a different drive than the one I used to create the key USB recovery flash? I have never done a clean install of Windows before.

  Thanks in advance for your answers.

  Your plan is perfect. The SSD to will of 7 mm that always come back fine it just will be lower in the caddy. The holes and SATA connections are in the same place as a hard drive of 9.5 mm. You can use a spacer (many SSD include one in the box) but not really necessary.

  Installing SSD for Windows 10 the way you expect is not really "own", that he will again introduce files and programs, in my opinion and certainly drivers. Whatever it is, it works perfectly and activates the old installation has been enabled.

  The hard disk in the optical adapter will not be bootable and will transfer the data a bit slower than a drive in the main compartment, but will still be usable for most cases. If you need fast input/output like Photoshop or video editing move the job file to the first SSD. Alternatively, you may wish to consider documents and photos and other migration on the HARD drive to keep the 128 GB SSD to fill. You can right-click on these files and select 'place' and move them. After the back if you need some help with that.

  Enjoy.

• Satellite L650 - 10 H - replace the optical drive of a second HDD/SSD?

  Hello
  Is it possible to replace the DVD burner with a second hard drive or an SSD?

  Thank you

  Hello

  First of all I don't know why would you refrain from ODD... I always use ODD and it fail...

  Well, some laptops as Tecra has supported this feature.
  For that you need a special envelope where the HARD drive is placed.
  This Chamber was placed in the Bay of ODD.

  But I m not very well if L650 model that would support personally I doubt it would work because of the controller on the motherboard.

  However, if you want to be safe, I would recommend an ASP in your country you asking if a compatible box be available satellite L650.

• Would it not possible to replace my optical drive in my series Vaio E with a SSD

  I have an Vaio E series SVE14A27CXH. I was wondering if it would be possible to remove my optical drive and replace it with a SSD then put Windows 8 on the SSD to speed up boot time.

  mutiger16,

  It might be possible to replace the optical drive with an optical drive for SSD conversion kit, but I'm not sure that it starts from this Bay.  My estimate is that it can, but I can't guarantee it will work...

• Satellite 1900-303: the optical drive replacement

  Hello

  Are there opportunities to replace the optical drive of this model? With or without a screwdriver? I want to replace the drive combo of origin (without work) by the other Toshiba combo drive. Can I replace the optical drive or only the Toshiba official centres can do this operation (simply)?

  Thank you very much

  André - Portugal

  Hi Andre,

  Change your optical drive is pretty easy (with a screwdriver). your player is usually set with one or more screws and once these are removed the reader can be slipped out of position.

  You can then remove the plastic trim of the components of the original drive and install them on your new drive (unless a new one is delivered complete with all the accessories). You will also need to remove the metal from your old drive brackets since they will have to be placed on your new drive.

  Insert the new drive in your laptop computer and fix it with the screws that you removed in the original.

  When you start your laptop should automatically detect the new drive. Note that the boot process may be slower than normal because the system will get the proper drivers etc for your reader doesn't and will update your configuration with the new information files.

  The important thing is to get a new optical drive with the same dimensions as the original.

  Hello

  To remove the optical drive, he can just remove the 2 screws that are placed at the bottom of the unit on the side of the road. Then you can simply drag the drive outward to disconnect the connector on the system board.
  The player is placed in the plastic frame. You must therefore also this framework for a new disk.
  Remove the plastic of the unit frame, only to remove 4 screws.

  Good bye
