Moving to SSD: Adapter to use the "old" HDD as 2nd drive in a notebook

I moved my notebook's hdd to a sdd. In Ebay I saw this adapter to use the "old" one instead of the build in dvd:

It fit's 100% and comes for under 10€ with a screwdriver. I could even reuse the DVD's drawers bar (it's rounded). Nice!

i wanted to buy such a thing long time ago.
i asked the seller if it will fit to my notebook but i never got an answer.

I've run like this since I bought this laptop. in fact had the adaptor here before the laptop waiting. The dvd drive never even got power to it, lol.

Only difference is I put ssd in dvd bay and installed OS to it. Easier to change from DVD bay on this model if I decide to swap out. AND, original OS is still on the original HDD in case the SSD fails.

Love it!!
