Second Drive For Lattitude E6430s
Im Havin a lattitude e6430s, with i5 3340m, my current hdd is a 5400rpm one, which is pretty slow, it boots up within 2 minutes !!! and is slow on every storage demanded tasks...
i looked up on bunch of ssds, they r pretty expensive, but i would like to know if i could add a second drive to it,
im thinking off replacing my optical drive with a hdd caddy, so i can install a hdd and install ssd on the main sata drive (where the hdd was installed). however, i am doubt with the caddies,
i would like to know if there are any suitable caddies for lattitude e6430s ?
some of them does not have the push thingy (the optical drive of this guy has a push to unlock and pull kind of a thing, idk what to call it XD) .
would be nice if theres a specific model or link of it

Welcome back @Impulsed Guy
Just before I left the warehouse I took a few pics of 2 different ones I had on my bench that would work. "I know I should have 1 or 2 others"
This one has a metal plate to seal it in.
This one is more contoured and you could remove it at any time, then remove the HDD/SSD pop in another one reinsert it and your off and running with a new storage drive.
Tomorrow, I can try to find an E6430s to see which one best matches the contour.
Best regards,
U2

this is how the pull thingy looks like
is this pre-built to the caddy or is it removable and can be installed with other caddies?

I would say every one I have seen so far has the pull tab.
The main thing is to get the contour of the face plate as close as possible.
I am still looking for an E6430 to check.

Something like the link below should work (for storage only).
