will that work? if I buy an SSD, will it work with ^ ?
Should be OK if you have that model Samsung notebook..
thanks. I have the Samsung 300E5A laptop. is there any chance you can tell me what they’re called so I can get one off Ebay???
SATA Optical Bay HDD Hard Disk Adapter Caddy
Looking at these devices, the main requirement seems to be the height (thickness).

IT Doesn’t mention a dvd drive in the specs for that model?

suppose I better bump this as my other thread was binned.
can anyone link me to a fairly cheap one on Ebay? I did contact a seller on Ebay who was selling a Caddy but they haven’t replied. I still don’t know what one to get and don’t really have �20 spare to buy the one from my OP.
any help would be awesome.
This one fits your laptop
