Hi, are you sure you want to boot from the HDD caddy connected to the Sata-1 interface? It will be very slow, Windows will run at a snail pace, I recommend that you use that caddy drive for storage and keep the 2.5" Sata-3 HDD/SSD as your boot drive with the Windows OS.

Hi,

Thanks for your input. I want to remove cd-rom and instead of cd-rom i want to connect ssd with the help of caddy. i have tried it with other laptops like another acer and other company laptops it works well just like booting from second Hdd in pc system.
