Second drive caddy for unibody MacBook Pro

This caddy replaces the internal optical drive in compatible unibody MacBook Pro models from 2008 through 2012. It accepts a 2.5 inch SATA hard drive or SSD up to 9.5 mm thick, adding a second internal storage volume without cables or drivers. Installation is a direct mechanical swap that supports hot-swapping once fitted.

Check your exact model identifier before ordering

Only the unibody MacBook Pro 13 inch (A1278), 15 inch (A1286) and 17 inch (A1297) listed in the supported model numbers are compatible. Non-unibody models, PowerBook G4, Mac mini and iMac are not supported. Verify the model number printed on the base of your Mac matches the supported list to ensure the caddy aligns with the optical-drive bay.

Replaces the SuperDrive to add a second SATA drive

The upgrade is worthwhile when you need more internal capacity or want a dedicated SSD for the operating system while keeping the original drive for data. It is not suited for machines that lack a 9.5 mm optical-drive slot or for users who still require an internal optical drive.
