Not worth the hassle for a 6 year old drive, IMO. And I wouldn't bother messing with putting the newly liberated internal DVD drive in a third party case. Also, to retain the ability to play CDs and DVDs (at my desk) occasionally, I picked up an LG external writer/player for like $25 here on Amazon. It will save you time and heartache, and maybe even a trip to the repair shop if you break one of the many small components inside your MacBook.

As other reviewers have said, there are basically no 'real' instructions included with this caddy, so do yourself a huge favor and google how to do it before you get at it. Pro Tip: a slightly magnetized screw driver is amazingly helpful.

(my primary drive is a 1TB samsung EVO) The install went fine, it fits perfectly, but the whole disassembly/reassembly process is a bit tricky with the miniature screws involved. So I took the plunge on this and installed a Seagate 2TB FireCuda drive as a second, media storage drive. And I don't like traveling/flying with an external drive. I travel a lot, and I've grown tired of limited integrated on-the-go storage for my image and graphics files.

Used this item to install a second hard drive in my trusty MacBook Pro 2012 (v9,2). I will definitely buy again as I've already bought probably five of these over the last 2 years and three of them in the last month and they've always worked I have bought three of these in the last month, I work in it and I have upgraded several clients computers to a dual hard drive system instead of using their DVD superdrive which they never use and these fit perfectly, the review saying that they don't come with the right screws or whatever are totally incorrect, this comes with 4 screws built into the sides with a hard drive goes so you just put the harddrive in the tray and look at the side and you'll see two holes on each side with screws already in them you just have to tighten it up and then install the whole assembly per the instructions, it is a very simple fix /customisation just take your time and be patient when unplugging the wires on your Mac so you don't pull something off the logic board or strip out of screw etcetera if you don't know how to install stuff in a computer have a computer shop do it for you but this upgrade literally takes me about 12 minutes to do every time I've done many of them and these harddrive trays work perfectly as long as you buy them for the correct year Mac which several are compatible.
