Wow thanks.

I finally successfully installed caddy for extra hdd. Thanks ALLAH. and thank you guys.

I actually swapped my internal hdd with an ssd. And put hdd into caddy. And replaced caddy with this dvd drive.

After installing I realized I shouldn’t move my internal hdd to caddy. I could just put ssd into caddy. And make that my startup disk.

Anyways. It was a great experience with removing HDD and DVD Drive.

I would NOT use the SSD in the caddy and have that be your startup disk. The optical drive uses PATA instead of SATA and is older transfer speed.
