This is what I was looking for!
Thank you.
Oohh thanks!! I was looking for this information!!!!
Thanks. Great info.

Thanks 👍
good comparison
Keep it up bro
Review: looks like Caddy driver can bring more speed than on USB Sata, and it's more safe, unlike USB that can have disconnection issues
Absolutely!
But u can pop the usb and get new one any time and it portable
as long as you dot put the screw the caddy in you can pop itout anytime XD(for laptops that hold the cd reader using 1 screw at the bottom) @@paneerpolice3454
A friend of mine once tampered with his laptop and broke the SATA port. I fixed his computer by mounting his HDD in a caddy in the place of the optical drive. However, I can distinctly remember the awfully slow speed (about 20-30 MB/s) of the HDD when running off of the caddy. I presumed that the speed of the ODD SATA connector was somehow limited, partly because it is much smaller than the standard HDD SATA port, and partly because the bandwidth seems sufficient for the ODD it was designed for. This video however seems to invalidate my theory and previous experience; is there any other reason why this could happen? I'm asking because I'm considering installing a SSD in my laptop instead of the ODD and would like to know if its performance would be hindered either by the caddy or by the SATA ODD interface on the motherboard.
thanx
If i remove the HDD and put that in the dvd place by caddy and put the SSD in the the HDD's place, Can the laptop's motherboard be damaged in the long run?
Is it possible if i use only the caddy because my original ssd slot isnt working
Computer shops saying if we use caddy method their will be extra load on mother board. Is it true ??
Sad is quite fast in caddy compared to regular hdd in sata
Is there sata III in your optical drive too?
If I install my hdd in caddy does it requires a format to show or it just plug and play?
Hii i saw this video. i measured my burner and it is 9.0mm, could a 9.5mm caddy fit in my pc?
Note: Some vendors save money by not using a sata3 interface but rather 2 or 1,so some old laptops might be slower while using a caddy while using an SSD, if using an hdd the speeds between sata2 or 3 might not be noticeable.
would using a external HDD be slower on usb 3
what abaout lenovo z40-70 si this the same port?
Hey man can you do this for hdd.
Or you can just suggest me.
M planning to put ssd but confused about the placement of my hdd.
Should i use caddy or external hdd cover?
go for a large storage capacity ssd if possible. Otherwise place ssd inside and hdd outside. Remember to keep your frequently used stuff in ssd only as speed of hdd will be reduced and will lead delays in opening files.
Ssd in place of hhd is good but I installed hdd with caddy in dvd bay and after that hdd speed is super slow
if I install new SSD in main slot and old HDD in dvd caddy , then will HDD work in same speed as it worked before ? some commenting that HDD working slow for data storage than before
Probably yes, because HDD (Mechanical) can't really reach 300MB/s of SATA 2(Dvd caddy/bay) bandwidth.
So putting the drives in caddy will lower the speed no matter if its ssd or hdd it will not give its peak performance how much percentage of Hdd performance will be reduced if i put hdd in caddy any rough idea?
no the HDD speed won't be affected. I think the caddy can provide a max speed of ~450mb/s and while it does hamper a SSD's performance, HDDs are slow running at max ~150mb/s so they will run normally.
Nice Work. but why sequential write is 145MBps in Internal sata interface?
Have performed the benchmark test again and got ~300MB/s
what about hdd?
I'm planning to buy SSD of 120gb/240gb only.
But I'm confused to place hdd(max 100mbps can reach). Should I keep in caddy or external case??
Is that true that SSD in caddy consume more power?
i think its up to your preference.
up til now im using ssd sata on caddy slot that use sata 3 interface speed @ 6gbps (read&write speed ~500mbps), in my case there is no difference speed between hdd slot or caddy slot.
or maybe you interested using ssd on your external case such as via usb 2.0 or 3.1, i think its ok since enclosure/external case have sata 3 interface speed @ 5gbps (read&write speed ~400mbps). it might be slight slower than caddy slot or hdd slot.
but it might different if you using nvme enclosure that can be connected to type-c on your laptop it have pcie interface with speed @ 8gbps (read & write speed ~800 mbps)
Laptop I have has 4gb ram and internal around 1tb hdd. Which should be good option:
1) use 120gb caddy ssd and clone windows files on it?
2) replace internal hdd with ssd and hdd in caddy tray? Will caddy handle 1tb hdd that easily?
3) add another 4gb ram stick?
Replace internal HDD with SSD and hdd to caddy. Yes caddy can handle it.
Also upgrde to 8 GB of ram.
@@jalajit271 sir the caddy can handle any hdd size but the read speed will be awefull
@@nextriddle4546 yes, but it will be considered as a secondary drive. So it'll be ok. Even if we replace HDD with SSD in caddy, its speed won't reach the max potential of SSD, so having HDD in caddy is a more reasonable choice.
@@jalajit271 can I use hhd in external HDD case? I think caddy hdd will consume power
@@saipavan4780 yes it consumes more power (in my case), unfortunately i have no idea of using hdd in external case. Though u can use your hdd via usb cable like a pendrive too if you don't want caddy but you'll be plugging in and out every time you wanna use it.
bhai mere pass dell 3542 hai aaj hi li hai ssd caddy.
1. meine ssd caddy mei dala hai filhal kyuki dusra area screw ke baad khul nai rha hai...
ssd se ssd mei hi data transfer copy kar rha hu toh 250mbps speed hai agar hdd se sdd mei karta hu toh copy 80mbps hai...kya yeh sahi speed hai speed? constant hai hdd ki tarah fluctuations nai hai.
2.ek aur baat disk management mei jakar jo ssd caddy hai waha option aaya ta first wo meine okay and format kar diya hai par ssd dvd wale jagah hi alag icon mei hi aaya hai jaise pendrive aur dvd ka alag section hota hai c d e wale jagah nai aaya hai my computer mei first line mei...kya karna hai batao iska
3.clone wale videos bhi deke hai par muhje hdd ka C drive clone karna hai sirf with apps without losing other partitions.
asa posible hai toh batao time leta hai wo software fir kuch error aagya ya bhi mei hi kaam ruk ke sab karab na hojaye wo darr hai toh soch rha hu ssd mei new windows dalu thodi firse mehnat lagegi apps n all ke liye.
thanks
Bhai speed 80mbps se aage isliye nhi ja rhi h kyunki data read hard disk se ho rha h.. Hard disk ki read speed bhut kam hoti h as compared to ssd.
Wo dusre line me isliye h kyunki wo abhi secondary disk hai.. Ssd me windows install karne pe wo first line me aa jaegi or system disk ban jaegi.. zada achi performance or speed le liye system disk ko caddy me mat daalna internal sata ka hi use karna..
Or clone krne me koi risk nhi h aap kisi bhi ache software se c drive ko clone kr skte ho jese Macrium reflect hai.. or zada hi simple or fresh krna h pc to fresh copy install kr lena windows ki nayi drive me directly..
@@techshalain-techsimplified409 ssd 2 ssd 250mbps ka speed aarha hai copy paste mei aur bhi zada aata hai kya wo ?
abhi dual boot windows dala hai ssd mei bhi hai aur hdd mei bhi hai.
Bhai ssd to ssd vary krta vse overall copy speed without ssd 250mbps sahi hai.. Or hdd ko include hi nahi karo bilkul bhi windows boot me.. sirf dusri files store krne ke liye rakho hdd..

what generation your ODD is? sata 1?
Its SATA3
Which laptop are u using.? Is it lenovo g505s? Also my ssd is giving me only 5-8 MB/s read and 208 MB/s Write what's the problem?
I'm using my ssd in caddy...
Hi Anshul, it's the different laptop. If your SSD read speed is 5-8Mbps, that must be a hardware problem. It is very low speed. Try inserting your SSD internally. 90% chances are there that it'll be resolved.
So should I use this technique:
Remove HDD and add SSD
Remove CD drive and add the original HDD?
Will this be a better technique, if yes, then can you make a full video about it, right from unscrewing to transferring OS?
Ty for doing the test I was really looking for the performance difference
Great Decision! It'll be very fine. There will be no performance issues.
Bro my internal sata port speed is 6 gbps and dvd drive speed is 1.5 gbps.
My question is
1.where should i put ssd.
If i use hdd in caddy will my hdd will become slower.
Pls reply
Laptop hp pavilion 15 au006tx
So what did you do?
If a SSD gets slow in caddy interface then definitely a HDD too will get slow, so if you want to use both SSD and HDD at same time, better use SSD in caddy. If you will your HDD in caddy it's performance will downgrade which will result in slow loading of apps installed in HDD (mostly games)
i noticed this using hd in caddy but i never test
that's not good to put ssd in caddy..
use hdd in caddy and only put data that you don't mostly use, but want it to be there for your need..
@@ZaheerAhmed-rb2be exactly !
Bro what is your laptop model
He's written everything in the description
Its Lenovo G50-70
Awesome Vid. Reply if you see This comment. see ya :D
Hey, thanks!
i have a question. If i swap the ssd from the caddy to the internal sata and the hdd from the internal sata to caddy will it affect my files? or its just the same?
Edit: internal sata (HDD SLOT)
