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.

Sometimes people don't understand how hardworking and patient electronic engineers are.

Being one myself, I concur.

If there is ever a zombie apocalypse - I am going with this guy. We will need to build survival tech from scrap...

Bro, you nailed my interest!! I'm quite fascinated by computer architectures and stuffs like these to build my own equipments. Good job and keep the passion alive!

Thank you so much brilliant, this is exactly what i was searching. i think you are the only one who did this on youtube. i'm very interested to this kind of work, 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.

I think i should buy a caddy , that way my dvd drive is safe too

True to that brother! And it will be cheaper than buying a dvd drive.

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.

I LIKE YOUR CREATIVITY I WISH IT WASNT SO FAST PACED THO. I HAVE ACCESS TO SO MUCH OLD COMPUTER PARTS SO I DONT LIKE TO BUY NEW IF I CAN MAKE OR MODIFY IT MYSELF. ONLY THING IM A NEWB, BUT IM LEARNING WATCHING ALL THESE VIDEOS THANKS KEEP UP HE GOOD WORK

It's an excellent video. I tried it and it works perfect . Thanks so much l, now my laptop is working with two disks

holy moly this is very useful, but I'm quite scared of doing this

Yes bro

That's a great idea! Even though I would just buy the mini sata to full sata adapter and use it directly to both save time and money. But still great video!

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

interesting and certainly useful

Great job man!... Good music too..

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. 😊

Nice work👍

Thank you Brother you are the best 👌🏽💯

Good job thank you.

Here is real DIY. Bravo bravissima.

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

yes that is indeed how the speed button works... You can even make it faster! ...

this helped me increase my storage by 500 gb drive all tho I have one free nvme spot but I also had an hdd drive laying around and decided to go for it

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!!!!!

Terima kasih banyak ,saya lagi butuh ini kebetulan anda membuat tutorial,izin saya telah download skemanya,tq bro,Gbu

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

Please make laptop cd rom ide connection to sata hdd diagram.

Nice but why dont use a serial cable cut in half?

Thank bro. It’s work💯

Thanks it worked

This is an engineering level

Masterful

I wil try thx for the ideea

Do caddy has an indicator light just like dvd drive?

Someone : i think i should buy a hdd/ssd caddy no one Engineer : I have a great idea

Does this work if the connector in the mainboard is IDE and my HDD SATA?

please make hp compacq c700 Cd Rom connector to sata hdd connector daigram.

lets see tou do it with a 50 pin JAE connector type lappy drive,that would be pretty impressive!!

Did it on an Acer PC as well. Many of them are not much more than laptops.

thx man

but how to connect the laptop dvd drive to a desktop PC ? do you have the schematics ? thank you

Interesting, but i think i will use wires instead (desktop connectors)

moreover wire 18awg or higher? sorry I would have a try on this but of course I have not experience at all

Wow excellent for your video.....myself will pay 3 USD for Caddy tray

Just up! What happened in the end?!

Drat this laptop optical drive lays out teh internal PCB in such a way to make it difficult to fit the HDD,

Goated video

Como fazer com a saída USB 2.0 ?

Bro I'll go with caddy

can it be done with a sata adapter and connect the CD/DVD from a broken laptop? just to avoid or reduce work with soldering (I have no solder kit at the moment) and if not can you advise what kind of cable to buy? thanks

💖💖💖💖💖💖

Oh my god its to hard.. i liked your work and video... But compare to simple buy new 2 tb drive or buy new cady....

Wow!! It's so easy😂😂😂

why not just aim the hdd into dvd hole and push it into the connector isn't that faster ? anyway many thanks for your efforts

@bassfear_9952

connectors are different and the needed pins wont line up

Unique solution, but maybe I bought a caddy

Use SATA adaptor

why .. ?

This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

Man, just get a caddy, these are too complicated, and if u want to use cd drive externally? , get a usb to slim sata (7+6 pin) cable

we should buy cady because wasting cd drive for just 200 to 300 rupees is worst

Id just buy a caddy.

Nu functioneaza,nu recunoaste bios unitatea hdd,trebuie facuta o conversie! It does not work, it does not recognize the hdd drive bios, a conversion must be made!

pain in the ass if u mess up when taking of power and data

THING YOU MUST AVOID

I will prefer to buy a $5 good caddy .

it's like $6 for a caddy on aliexpress, SO much easier than all this.

This one well looks more complicated, this is not for newby, there's too many things that I don't understand, more possibly to fail 🤣🤣

Hahaha you can do this if u have many broken laptop, so you can use the female adapter embeded from the sata data and power of the board.. and mod it to the dvdrom, if not muh better to buy the adapter because its to cheap

Between $6 and $9 on eBay you can get the Caddy without going through all of this.

250 rs caddy

I definitely buy a new caddy from market.. it is better buy an new one instead go to a mental hospital..

or just buy a caddy😭

Ohhhh god a HDD caddy just costs $3 usd

or you could just buy a cheap cdrom caddy.... lol

You know, Caddy is really cheap. This is more expensive as you have destroyed you dvd drive which is more expensive than the caddy and also you have wasted yours and our time.
