Description

DualDrive V3 / hddcaddy / Optibay

Add a Second Hard Drive to your Apple Laptop!

Double the storage capacity of your Apple Laptop with a Dual Drive!

The DualDrive V3 (optibay) replaces your internal optical drive with a hard drive of your choice (Only 2.5" SATA drives will work in the Dual Drive). As a result, you will no longer have a CD drive in your unit. You can still have an external cd drive by using the optical drive enclosure kit for your old cd / dvd drive.

If you're the type of person who doesn't use your optical drive much, but needs extra storage capacity on the go, then the Dual Drive is what you need.

The DualDrive V3 (optibay) will use the mounting brackets that your original drive used. The drive will sit firmly in place once the machine is completely back together.

Compatibel with:

All MacBook 13" (Unibody)
All MacBook Pro 13" (Unibody)
All MacBook Pro 15" (Unibody)
All MacBook Pro 17" (Unibody)

Special compatibility notes related to use of this product with 6Gb/s SSDs in the following machines:

2011 MacBook Pro 15" (Model ID MacBookPro8,2)
2011 MacBook Pro 17" (Model ID MacBookPro8,3)

OPTICAL BAY: The optical bay interface in these machines may either be SATA Revision 2.0 3Gb/s OR SATA Revision 3.0 6Gb/s. There is no way to specify/order this data interface with Apple, but you can confirm what interface/link speed version your optical bay offers via the Apple System Profiler.

Testing has demonstrated that Apple factory hardware does not reliably support a 6G (6Gb/s) Solid State Drive or Hard Disk Drive in the optical bay of 2011 MacBook Pros (ModeI ID8,1; 8,2; 8,3). If your Dualdrive V3 bundle comes with a 6G drive, you should ONLY install that drive in the main drive bay and utilize the Dualdrive V3 to re-task your existing drive or install a new 3G SSD or HDD in the optical bay. PRE-2011 models can utilize a 6G drive in the optical bay, but will do so at a reduced 3G (3Gb/s) speed.

MacBook Pro 13" models: Apple does not support the use of 6Gb/s drives in the optical bay. While we have observed a high rate of success using SATA 3.0 6Gb/s drives in Apple 13" bays where 6Gb/s link is present, some systems may not operate properly with this setup. For guaranteed reliability/compatibility, we suggest 6Gb/s drives be used in the main drive bay only, and 3Gb/s hard drives or SSDs be used in the optical bay when a two-drive configuration is desired. We cannot guarantee proper or successful 6Gb/s drive operation in the Apple MacBook Pro 13" optical bay.

2008 MacBook Pro 15" (MacBookPro 5,1; 5,2; 5,3; 5,4; 5,5 and MacBook 5,1)
While a 6G SSD does function in a 2008 MacBook Pro 15" and 13" Macbook, it will only do so at SATA Revision 1.0 (1.5Gb/s) speeds rather that the SATA Revision 2.0 (3.0Gb/s) speed the machine can deliver. Should owners of these machines desire another SSD option, the Mercury Electra™ 3G SSD does run at the full SATA Revision 2.0 (3Gb/s) specification.
