After-market caddy for Acer Aspire E1-572-6676

smitty123 — Fri, 11 Jul 2014 03:27:43 GMT

hello I would like to install a 2nd hard drive where a cdrom should be in my Acer aspire E1-572-6676

there is a plastic tray but it is not designed to receive a hard drive (designers must think upgradability).

But I see two small connectors at the other end of the slot, would they be msata ports?

what i can use as hdd caddy to put a 2nd SATA not msata HDD ?

hi brummyfan2, thanks for a quick reply,

as it turns out i have that exact caddy in another laptop but it doesn't work for this model, the plastic tray in the acer is longuer by 2 inches so the ports don't reach and screw hole doesn't line up.
