Reported issues
- recommended not to use SATA3 (6gbps) drives (both SSD's and HDD) in the HDD Caddy with MBP 15"/17" 2011 due to compatibility issues of the unibody design. Place them in the primary bay and the SATA2 drives in the HDD Caddy. The MacBookPro8,1 8,2 and 8,3 does not reliable support SATA3 drives in the optical bay.
- unreliable connection with Intel 520 SSD series in the HP Probook 470 G1. Recommended to move the HDD to the HDD Caddy and put the SSD in the main bay for optimal performance.
- Seagate Momentus compatibility problem with some Lenovo Z50 and S510p laptops.
- Do not fully screw in the mounting screws from PNY CS1311 SSD.
