Replaced original Intel SSD in T510 w/2.5" SSD. Intel is smaller & is snapped in a tray. Will the tray fit in this caddy?

I am using T520, and this tray fits its caddy 99.9%. You can check out the difference between the caddys in T510 & T520. I don't think there is a difference between them, but you can double check to make sure.

My drive (Hitachi HDD) was 70mm (2.75") and fits snuggly in the caddy; the caddy came with small screws which retain the drive through holes located in a place which appeared standard to receive the SATA drive.

If it ends up with the same form-factor as a 2.5" drive, then yes, I would imagine so.

IIRC, there were some plastic clips about the length of the SSD with pegs that go in the screw holes of the SSD. It should slide in and lock to the 2.5" slots

no way. this fan/cooling sink fits the dimensions on the mother board for the intel processor

If you send a request to support at MSI they can forward a pic of this laptop with the bottom removed. They highlight the mounting areas where the new drives install. It uses msata drives for the space savings. They are about 1/3d the size of a cased SSD.

It will probably fit the case OK. It is the right size to fit next to the motherboard. However, the wiring and adapters may or may not connect correctly due to different location and configurations of the different drives. Some modifications may be necessary!

Yes as long as it fits, some SSD's may be too tall, but this one is pretty thin

Yes, it will definitely fit in a T400S. I have the same model of Lenovo and purchased this drive for it a few months ago. Very difficult to find an SSD of this physical size! It does not come with a "tab" to allow you to grab when removing the drive though - I had to fashion a makeshift one. Otherwise it's a solid fit for this laptop.

I have used this caddie extensively for my W500 before transitioning to the T430. The T430 is so much faster especially with 2 USB 3.0 ports I never found a need to mess with the configuration for backups or incorporate an SSD drive. Hence, I never tried the caddie in the T430 with a drive in it. However, I did remove the optical drive and place the caddie in the slot. The caddie is not as tall as the optical drive so you will see a little space there. The connection does seem to seat well though.

It fitas into any 3.5 inch desaktop bay. They should have the screws that go along with it. You just put the laptop or HDD hard drive on the inside of it and it holds the smaller drive in a standard desktop case. Mine went right in slick as butter. One thing though, it is one directional and they have no arrows showing that so try the front to the back end when puting it in. You might just be putting the ass end in first. Hope this helps.

No. It will not fit alone. You will need an adapter (from mini pci-e to sata) like this one: mSATA to SATA Adapter BTW I bought the 30Gb version of this SSD and it failed within the 1st year of (less than little) use.

2.5 inch, no room for an 3.5 drive you should go with the SSD, its easier on the power supply. I am not sure the compatibility between sata 2 & sata 3, the box has USB 3, that is good. I was surprised to see the box run win server 2012 when we loaded it as a domain controller.

I don't believe it will fit. Try the 2nd Hard Drive Caddy DELL E6400, E6500, E6410, E6510 Modular Bay (original Newmodeus), also sold by Amazon.

I put 2.5" SSDs in mine all the time, I just lay the Vantec unit down "flat" [with four bumper feet] and leave it like that Then align the 2.5" drive on the edge of the bay and slide it down on the SATA connector. Like a chom, it voiks.PS I leave the covers off mine and change out the drives frequently, so your setup may be different. You should look to secure the drive if you want to re-orient the Vantech on edge, [standing up].

It will fit but im not sure if will work. For me it did not work when i used ssd and sata.

Although they both have the SATA 3 6GBs header, you can actually fit an SSD into the taller case. Not much point, though, with a 250GB mSATA main drive already there, unless you've got some other mini SATA device. It's never going to be a speed rig with a 15W TDP processor, so halving the SSD response delay by using a RAID0 won't help much, and it's got 4X USB 3 ports for data. The Intel HD Graphics 5000 is stunning. I heartily recommend this machine.

SSD would fit on the thunderbolt connector. Not sure about opening the drive though

Contrary to what James and Jerry said, not all SATA drives will fit. Only drives that are thinner (shorter) than 12.7mm tall will fit. You can fit a thicker HDD in the caddy, but the caddy can't fit back into the computer. I tried it with a thicker drive and it simply won't work. Historically, 2.5" drives came as thick as 19mm, and some are still listed on amazon. For example search amazon for Toshiba-213mb. Most current model 2.5" SATA drives are thin enough, but check your specs carefully on the manufacturer's website.
