    My man basically created a HDD caddy outta scrap. Congrats for taking the time to look into the pinouts and wiring. Cheap and the planet loves you.

    omfg FINALLY - a "how-to make" what you want... that doesn't begin with "go to buy" what you want. many thanks i still can't believe my luck. oh btw i'll be adapting this to make it an external usb drive. thanks again.

    this is insane. I'm using this so I don't have my 2.5 Inch HDD dangling in my PC case. But it got real crazy when I realized you were actually doing this in a laptop and not just using an old laptop HDD in your desktop.

      This would be cheaper... It is liturally for free, if you have a old broken drive.

    I can bypass a lot of these steps, since I have an SSD caddy from my old laptop (HP ProBook 6460b) and I’m trying to put it in my Lenovo ThinkPad L540, but the caddy is too thick.
    However, the interface board is the same, so I take that out of my caddy and (hopefully) it will mount in place where the optical drives current interface board is. 😊

  • @bassfear_9952
    @bassfear_9952 ปีที่แล้ว

    took me two days to make my own like this but it was my first time ever to replace original parts by soldering wires for two different connectors and it works I even had some files left on it and everything showed up in the pc no problem but my only downside is that the pc shows that the hdd is bad and can fail

    At First I thought I was watching a Tweaker mutilated computer parts. Since I turned on auto play. I get some interesting videos coming popping up. ome entertaining some not. I know you can buy the kit but I’m a try this way first. After watching it three times I wish you would slow your time laps. Wouldn’t care if it was longer video. GOOD VIDEO!!!!!

    for those who want to follow the steps with less speed, you can go to the settings of the player and slow down the speed as you desire
