Review: Worked well for 2011 15" MBP - Took out my optical drive and replaced it with a second hard drive. As other reviewers have noted, there are no screw holes to attach the drive to the adapter nor the adapter to the BMP. The fit is snug enough that I'm not worried about anything moving. As another reviewer noted, there is a piece of plastic that gets in the way. Instead of breaking it, I found that you can pry it away from the side of the adapter and it will come off. Simple mod and great way to add a second hard drive. Also, it's spec'd as a 9.5mm drive adapter. I did get a 1T 12.5mm drive in, but it's really too much stress on the bottom plate and a cable that fit over the drive bay in the case. Stick to 9.5mm or find another adapter. I put a 750G Scorpio Black in instead. On a side note, I also ordered an external enclosure to put the optical drive in. Because it's a slot load (so you wont have a face plate at all) and Apple design (screw holes don't line up with the case), it's not a good solution. Save yourself the trouble and just order an external DVD burner for a couple more bucks. My optical is going into a drawer instead.
Review: Perfect fit - Fits perfectly. Works like a champ. The included screws were nice but the included screwdriver was worthless as the tip of the bit was crushed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect fit
*by P***K on August 11, 2025*

Fits perfectly. Works like a champ. The included screws were nice but the included screwdriver was worthless as the tip of the bit was crushed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy install, works great. Identical to items from other sellers
*by M***N on December 27, 2017*

Fit a 2011 13" MacBook Pro perfectly, and the drive was recognized with no problems. Speeds seem sufficient, but the connector on the machine is a SATA II, so I'd only use the optical bay for a platter HDD. Other laptops might use the faster SATA III. I ordered another drive caddy with a different brand name sticker attached to it, but the items were completely identical, down to the display card that comes in the package. In my opinion there is no need to buy an item like this branded specifically for Macs. I've seen some reviews claim that the build quality is low, but it seems great to me. It's basically a sheet metal and plastic holder with a SATA connector, but I'm not sure what else you need. It seems well made enough for $8. It comes with 4 screws to hold the drive in place, and a screwdriver. One note would be to remove the bracket from the back of the original optical drive and affix it to the caddy before installation, so the back has a way to mount to the computer. Installation took all of 10 minutes.
