- [cc] Only one 2.5 inch drive bay? No M.2 slot? You can still have both an SSD and hard disk drive together in your laptop. In this video we ditch the waste of space called the “DVD drive” and use an optical disk drive (ODD) caddy for a second 2.5 inch drive.

by mistake i have directly entered the caddy with the ssd and it is not coming out . help!
@Kevin Carl Jardiolin 128 GB should be enough. Remember to keep your desktop and my documents clean.
can I put an SSD in both internal hdd bay and caddy though ? if yes (in the caddy), Which SSD can I use ?
1:08 SSD VGeN vs SanDisk fit my caddy drive in my laptop.
What is the model of the laptop you used in this video?
The good thing about this video is all options, what ifs and whys when there's 100% successful and errors on the process, you cover it and provided answers. Thank you for this content. Very informative! Deserves a subscribe and like.
One of the best tutorial videos I've ever watched. Thank you!
Bro, you nailed it with straight to the points. Made my work too easy.
Very informative and i loved the vibe of your editing
this is an awesome tutorial man, i'm looking for something to do with my old laptop then stumbled onto this. keep on creating and thank you!
Excellent oratory, this is definitely the best explanation of any technical video I see a great future for you .
when I was searching for this query I was really confused. But your youtube suggested your video. This is a very detailed and clear explanation of the topic I have ever seen on youtube.
Thank you for helping me out.

thank you for this perfect educational video :) one of the best explaining videos i have seen in a long time
Great info. (And fine video production to top it off.)
Excellently explained. Awesome tutorial
The exact video I was searching for
Love ❤️ from Sri Lanka
youre cool to chill with. i like your style. i can hear to your chats all day long like a radio or podcast
Great video EJ. I saw something similar today and decided to do some more research. Good improvement over your first video as well.
Subbed.
Your video is the best of all!!!! You just earned a sub! Keep on the good work!!
I loved your presentation. You've earned a sub
You are great man, not just for explaining clearly but also for your honest with people that you explain what are the probs that may have been faced and why hat is happening and how to solve it
, on the other hand your video is perfectly suiting with my case :D ( laptop Lenovo, HDD disk is Seagate, SSD is WD green and want to make my SSD as primary drive for fast booting) .
great Job!
I'm too not able to load hdd in the caddy in lenovo laptop
This channel deserves 100M subscribers!
Me too
Complete descriptive video loved this. Some laptop can't boot from drive in the caddy.
Montage was on point ;D
You are legend. Wonderful explanation man
Good thing you did that, shows that you care cause some people don't care about the subscribers
Thanks for uploading a tutorial. This was really helpful for ramping up the performance for my Dell Inspiron 5559.
The cloning software that I used was Samsung Data Migration for my Samsung SSD 860 Evo.
So you have your SSD in the caddy now?
@@naveenkinnal5413 Actually the SSD does not need a caddy to be connected to the SATA-III port. But, to make use of the existing HDD, that requires a caddy to be installed in the Disk drive bay.
Thanks, I really needed to upgrade my lenovo, this video is all the help I needed.
Finally another worthy Guide!
Well explained sir! Thank you for this comprehensive guide
Very nice and funny and also very useful. Thanks dor the great video!
good tutorial especially with CC. very helpful
I want to share one important point with all. Always connect SDD with existing HDD sata 3 port to get max speed and you can shift existing HDD to DVD rom drive port sata 2 especially in case of laptop
But won't that slow down laptop if my windows is installed in HDD?
@@sibinpaul2003 No. Because HDD maximum read and write speed is way less than theoretical speed of SATA 2
@@awaisiqbal8934 Ohkk. Thanks for replying 😁
great video, straight forward and simple.
Awesome, please keep doing and educate us
Thank you so much I was debating upgrading my programming laptop to a ssd and now I'll have a 2tb hybrid laptop!
Loved it bro
great content bro! I learned a lot
This video not only covered almost everything about the upgrade process, but also covered some things to think about before proceeding (feasibility, how about an m.2 drive instead, etc.). Things a lot of content creators miss. Also, KABABAYANNNN. Nakakaproud maging Pinoy dahil sayo bro.
Very informative. This video helped me save money.
thank you for this video, helpful indeed!
Thanks bro for this updated version...need to work on your conclusion thou.
Thanks brother this video was quite helpful.
thanks again for the very informative video! :D
Very detailed information. Thanks a lot.
Thank you for detailed video tutorial
Superb information for us Newbies ..thanks EJ !
I can't wait to do this for my laptop, thank you!!
Same
Thank you sir, very informative!
Best Video I have seen about it, and also funny. Thanks
Waiting for 10.10 bakamayDiscount voucher but always coming back to this and the cloning vid para ma burndown sa utak ko gagawin once dumating na. Thanks for this!
Good tutorial thanks, will try....
Nice tutorial!!!
9:46 Nice explanation sir... 👍
The last piece of information was the best one. Need to check about CD drive being SATA 2.
Very comprehensive. Thank you for the detailed comments, tips and impressions.

Thanks! Best explanation for me.
useful tutorial .
Great work
Your first video got 1.2m views.. N thanks to you now i know what is the caddy use for.. :)
#Superb video man!
good to see a local-based vlogger with international standards. :)
Great monitor my man! Dell FP2007. I own it for like 15-16 years. Colours still perfectly accurate. The tilt adjustment gave up unfortunately. )
LMFAO - your explanations (with original "props") are priceless - you would make an excellent tutor! [subbed cos I liked your chutzpah!]
Many thanks. Just implemented this process. Used Macrium Reflect for cloning. Kept it simple by cloning a one terabyte platter HD to a one terabyte SSD. My laptop is an HP Pavilion 15 about 5 years old that I had previously upgraded to a one TB HD a year or so ago. My first plan was to place the SSD device in the CD-ROM caddy. But that would not give the best SSD performance.
So I replaced the old HD with the new SDD (after cloning). And then I fitted the old HD in the caddy and replaced the CD-drive with the caddy. BINGO! That's the way to get the best performance from the SSD, as this video says.
Now the clincher. Anyone who uses a laptop onsite to do a contract job has to backup continually. Otherwise, there is the risk that malware will cause loss of work and lost time and even breach of contract. But with this setup, backup is easy. When I take a break of 5 or 10 minutes every hour or so, I save a new version of the file I am working on (v.01, v.02, v.03). Now, instead of backing up each new version on an external USB drive, I back up on the second internal HD. Saves time.
And if I install new software or install an update to existing software or to the operating system, at the end of the working day, I can just clone the SSD to the second internal HD.
Then if catastrophe strikes in the form of failure of the SSD or malware, I can just swap the old HD back into the drive bay on the motherboard and I am back at work in less than 10 minutes. The cost of a one TB SSD plus HD caddy are now low enough to be classed as insurance against data loss.
Actually, I am more paranoid about data loss than this and do keep more than one clone of my main drive on an external HD. And store one clone in a safe place in case the laptop is lost or stolen.
I have worked this HP Pavilion very hard on offshore sites in more than one country and more than one continent, back and forth every day from hotel to client office. And it still chugs along. Obviously I don't edit videos, at least not often. So the "slow" speed of the I5 CPU is no problem and since my laptops usually last 10 years (until the keyboards wear out) I have no reason to replace the laptop with a later model.
So great to boot in seconds instead of minutes.
Nice video.
I've subcribe to your channel, very informative and everything is explained well.
very helpful sir, salamat po. 😊 Godbless po. 😇
thank you man
Very useful
Thank you
woooow great valuable information.
New subscriber here. Your the best sir Godbless!
The reason that the HDD may not be detected in the optical drive is because maybe, the HDD is drawing too much current from the DVD's internal port, during the initial spin up, HDD will draw significantly more current for a few seconds, manufacturers probably didn't anticipated their DVD slot will experience such a current surges so they might not make enough power headroom for the DVD power rails. Of course this is from my personal opinion, it may depended on several factors (Chipsets, Drivers, HDD brands...)
The pin outs are diff aswell
Would an ssd be more likely to work?
@@Handlebrake2 In my experience, SSD tended to work more reliably than HDD in a caddy like this.
What's the solution. I am facing this too
nice video
Thank you~
I know a better method:
1.install the ssd with caddy in optical drive
2.then clone the hdd to ssd using any software like Samsung magician or macrium reflect
3.after the clone , interchange the drive .
It should then boot from the ssd as default.
Agreed. This is exactly what I did with my laptop while basing from his previous video. Worked like a charm!
i follow this but i cant get caddy out of optical drive.
@@mostafaabdelalim7390 there is a small space in the corner, you can use a screwdriver to remove after data transfer,i admit it takes a little bit of effort
@@varunkatoch5912 I get it out.
Then I interchange them. But cant boot from any if the two disks.
Errorr messege appear of
adisk read error occured
Press alt +ctrl+del to restart
@@mostafaabdelalim7390 are you sure you cloned the drive correctly?
Man, it's incredible what you're doing! Great cause and great explanations! I have this now on my reborn laptop t410.
Hi EJ this update is useful Salamat :) e.g. sata II sata III connections in dvd tray can affect HDD access read afterswapp. ---(NB: Your method is safest, clone then swap hardware - best do cloning first.,, I mean before mounting) I m moving HDD to dvd bay l perform HDD speed test with Crystal disk before unmounting from the main bay and after in the dvd tray. Cheers!
I already did this from your previous tutorial in 2017. Here's what I did: I installed SSD on the caddy and cloned my HDD to it while caddy's screws not tightened. After cloning is done, I swapped HDD to caddy and SSD to SATA 3, Booted it up and I wiped ny HDD after I backed up what I want (this is to combine HDD's partitions C:, D:)
I'm enjoying the speed since then especially at boot up
Both use the same sata type port
@@iceseic so no problem if i put ssd in caddy just!
@@iceseic Kind of. The thing is if your laptop older and CD/DVD driver is connected not by SATA III, but II you won't be able to use SSD to its full potential. So it means that if you put SSD (which has bigger write/read speeds than HDD) it won't be utilized fully. Now HDD doesn't have that speed, so it makes perfect sense to place it in the caddy and put SSD in the primary spot.
Thanks I installed a 120 gb adata SSD in my pc. It flies now
What I did in mine is that..
1. Took off the HDD
2. Insert my SSD and install windows
3. Insert my HDD to caddy
I did not option the cloning since I decided to reformat and upgrade to windows 10
It works for me and had amazing results.
What happen to os inside the hdd?
thatzmaloli he just wrote that he reformatted it, meaning he basically cleaned off any data on the hdd.
@@LeanyG11 ahh didnt read that
@@thatzmaloli4800 I did the same but I'm planning on just leaving the Operating system as it is because I changed the boot order and my machine is booting from the SSD
Amazing
Thank you po!
Nice!!!!
I have the same exact background on my desktop. I've had it for a few years.
Hi, great video. Keep up the good job. 1 question- Can I use an m.2 + HDD + HDD dvd cady all together if my unit has both an m.2 sllot and a dvd drive?
Hi, great video thanks for sharing this!!! (Also, about the 8:29 thing, did you try to change priority in boot options, or checked the boot list to see if booting from the optical drive was enabled/in the list?)

You are the best
Dude you are so underrated. Are you even earning from making videos like this?
Thank you for this very informative video. May I ask what exact Lenovo model you used here? Thank you so much! 😊
My ssd and caddy are on the way.. i hope i can do it . wish me luck broooo
You can change the boot device order in the BIOS, i might make a program to clone the drive if needed with multiple partition support etc
you probably wont see this but i have the same wallpaper as u, so hyped for the live action atla series
This is what im trying to do, making the ssd become the primary internal disk and the hdd in the caddy hopefully you could teach the setup bios maybe..
Obrigado!
Keep up the good work and pls keep making videos, your a natural mate..
For anyone curious the connector at 3:10 (the one he says "then your good") is called slimline SATA
I've never heard of the word slimline before or since.
