I have the Modular Bay II (external for Dell E6230), this caddy will fit? I want to use a SSD with this, thanks.

It seems this manufacturer keeps tighter tolerances than some of the others. For some reason, the latitude series of computers E series has a modular bay that is perhaps just slightly thinner than other dell model computers. A cheaper version fit my dell 600m but not the latitude. This model did and so I bought the more expensive. Give it a try. Amazon is good about returns if it doesn't fit, but my guess is that it will be just fine.

Hi Sergio, Out on the town now, but will get back to you on Monday once I take a look again at the ones I have. TTYS. Jaime

Sorry I can't say that. I'm using it internally in a Dell E6430 with a SSD and there it fit perfectly.

Hi SergioYes it should work.. I have d same dell model and mine is working perfectly.

yes, for sure. we are mostly E6320' and 6330's, the caddy fits great, and also in my own 6530, a 6320 and a 6420. We have bought 5 of these total-- they kick...you know...

I don't know. I have a Dell E6520 notebook. The caddy fit for it perfectly. There is a SSD in my computer (for the operation system) and a high capacity HDD in the caddy.

I have this one and it's got a lot of room but you can't put everything the say it can hold in there, not enough space. If you're going to add lots of drives look carefully because on most case the drives will hit caps or video cards on motherboards. Try to find a review where someone says what they were actually able to fit.

I don't believe so. When I switched out my 80 HDD for my 500 HDD, the caddy that was already in there fit just fine with my 500. No issues fitting it back into place.

Yes, I have the same one, same computer and it fits fine. Make sure when you take out the reg optical drive, you get an enclosing for that one and use it as an external optical drive. Also make sure when your taking the computer apart, use a magnetic screw driver. Trust me on this one, those screws are literally impossible to get out and put back in without a magnetic screw driver.

It fits My laptop DELL E6320 perfectly, regarding the SSD size i don't know but i'm using"240GB SATA 3 III SSD Solid State Drive Certified for the Dell Latitude E6320 by Arch Memory". also this caddy fits the original HDD 750GB in my E6320 .

Hey partner,Gene gives some good advise.Also, make sure your optical bay drive is a 12.7mm height.It could be a 9.5mm height and there are HDD caddies for the 9.5mm drive bays.One other thing to consider is the height of your HDD itself.There are several different heights of HDDs - 5mm (very recent); 7mm (mostly for SSDs); 9.5mm; and 12.5mm (usually for larger capacity drive - 750GB+).Depending on your HDD height and the caddy height, it may or may not fit in the HDD caddy.Hope this helps.Kevin

I need to use the dell docking station to use the caddy. My laptop only has the standard USB plugs The caddy needs a special plug that I only I have on the docking station.

Yes this caddy accepts a 2.5" SATA drive and fits into the CD bay once the CD is removed. The drive functions as an alternative drive and can be used as a boot drive if it contains an OS.

Yes, it certainly will fit and work. Just remember... space inside the enclosure is at a premium, so play it smart by plugging in the connections first, then lower the drive into the enclosure for application of screws. Enjoy.

Hello ADave, the one that I got was def. for a 3.5" drive. The drive that I installed into it came from a home "tower" style computer, Dell if I remember correctly. Have you tried to install a drive into it yet? The case for mine was actually quite a bit bigger than and drive, prob for heat dissipation, but def for a 3.5" drive. Mine works flawlessly and allowed me to recover the info I had in the computer that died. I now use it for a back up storage.

I don't know the insides of a Dell M70. The SSD connectors are the same as a SATA drive.

Yes, it will be fine. The 3.5 can fit into the existing bay that I installed 2 SSD's in. The Solid State drive can then fit sideways on the left side of the DVD bay screwed against that slot in one of those cheap 3.5 to 2.5 conversion racks. I almost did that myself because I wanted an internal card reader. I changed my mind. One bit of advice. I installed a 120mm fan on the inside of the right hand vents. It runs a heck of a lot cooler with that cross ventilation. I am typing on the unit now & it's running really good. I installed 8 GBs of ram and a video card though. Good luck to you.

Looks like it if you order the macbook version. Protronix SATA Optical Bay 2nd Hard Drive Caddy, Universal for 9.5mm CD / DVD Drive Slot (for SSD and HDD)

I haven't done that so I can't completely answer but really any SSD should work in it. This laptop really boots up fast compared to a regular HD. I suspect it is one of the new hybrids.

yes, for sure, it is compatible with any E6420 or 6430, indeed any from the E6xxx series except for the E6220/6230 (which has no CD/DVD ROM bay to start with). The caddy is a little pricey but I highly recommend it.

Yes, it will fit using the supplied mounting rails. And it's a speed demon over the Dell drive, which was pretty good for it's day.

I'm using a Samsung 830 SSD in mine. I cant remember if I've also got a mechanical 2.5" in there too. It should take 2 of any SSD or 2.5" mechanical hard drive (search for laptop internal drives).These are very fiddly to build and hard to manage the cables inside, very little space inside so take your time. I broke the external USB 3 connection when I built mine because its tricky.
