Hi everyone,

I was one of the lucky few who bought his laptop from America and it came without the cable and the caddy. I have tried for the last few months to get both and have finally got the cable but had absoutely no luck finding the Caddy in the UK. I've been onto Acer in the UK and they said they couldn't help and the US Acer said they can only ship it to America. I really need the extra space in my laptop as I use it for work. A stupid question I know but could you install a SSD without the Caddy? I presume the caddy protects the SSD and it will be damaged over time without one but it feels like I literally have no other option :( 

Part is: Acer Predator Helios 300 G3-571 G3-572 Laptop Hard Drive Caddy 33.Q28N2.001

Thanks.
