Laptop DVD Drive

Well my hard drive on the laptop failed recently, if anyone has an N5110 and you haveto change it, then i feel sorry for you, especially if you haven't done it before. So i installed a new SSD *Agility 4 into it, and because SSD drives are still rather expensive, about 1GB per 1Euro, i found an alternate solution.

You dont really need a large SSD, why? well the only things you are gona put on it, are: Operating system, Programs, a Few Games. Thats it, no reason to keep movies or other stuff there, what just takes up space.

Still 60/120 or even 240 GB is still rather small, well 240GB should server you, if you are an average computer user and dont keep any Video Footage or TV shows, Movies on it, but most people do so heres what you will propably find interesting.

Most Laptops still have a CD/DVD drive, do you ever use it?
propably not. So you can replace that with another Hard Drive. Now there are plenty of different versions on it, it makes little difference because its basicly an extencion and you cant propably fuck that up in the manufacturing process.

I got the Akasa SATA ODD Adapter for 2,5 and it was around 16 euros. There are other versions out there what cost around 30-40 aswell. you might get some extra feature so its easyer to remove but other than that, they are all about the same.

Anyway what you should ask for is an Optical Bay Hard Drive Adapter
Here are a few examples on amazon.com

Now as long as it is meant for 2,5 inch hard drive, it will proapably fit.
Oh heres a picture of what it looks like, if you are lazy and dont want to go click any links :)

Oh by the way, if you are tech savy and like to modify it a bit more, you can fit some USB thumb drives or something else into there, the sides are empty.
