Is the caddy already equipped with all the necessary electronics? Missing only the disk? Thank you!

Only slightly, but I think it may work in the 8440P, it would in my older 8440P, but that was way larger than the recently wide screen model. Although I have not looked at it yet, it may be possible to steal the front bezel off the Rom tray and put it on the HD holder. I don't have mine with me now or I would look. I have tons of HP/Compaq laptops and most I have been able to put HD trays into the DVD ROM bays on.

Yes they are. Everything fits perfectly. I have 4 in use. They are not very rugged, but work perfectly.

Yes, you just slip in your SATA drive and plug the drive adaptor into your DVD rom bay of your laptop. Please make sure it fits your model of laptop, as I found out the hard way that the sellers do not have all the models aligned well and while this model fit in one of my larger 8530W mobile workstations with no issue, it did not fit in my ultralight laptops with a more curved or rounded edge where the DVD rom is located. It looks like it would fit, but did not.

No. No cd/DVD drive. Most programs have online drivers so i haven't missed having a physical drive.

Yes. My new Mac didn't even come with a disc drive. I downloaded everything from the website. Forewarned, it's a bit confusing as to what to download.

Yup, comes complete with everything. depending on how many drives you have, might need a few more SATA cables. Discs and drivers are pretty much useless, they have a program that auto scans the newest drivers and programs through MSI (Live Scan) i believe, and i update through that. Most drivers on the disc are out of date

NO, even tho the seller claims it comes pre-installed. Also no install disk included with the laptop.I returned mine.

Yes the one I bought, had the hardware as described....but the DVD drive wasn't reading any disc. So I bought an external DVD drive for $30.00..Minor cosmetic damages. But up to now, the computer is working.

It's all online and in the instruction booklet. The included disk is usually out of date so requires a download from the sct website

I was able to use the caddy that was already in the computer. It didn't look like it initially, but it can be separated from the old drive.

No. The caddy for your previous hard drive should work just fine. When I installed my new drive I just reused the caddy from the old one. Only if you're upgrading from a 5 gig card should you need a caddy.

There should be a disk in the drive try putting that in your tower cd drive . P.S. that's why I got a refund.

There isnt a disc drive on this computer. Odd, I know. But i think the more techy things are getting, things like that are phasing out on laptops.
