  • For those still having the issue, pls try updating your BIOS firmware. Mine worked after the update. In Lenovo, this can be done by Lenovo's "System Update" program. For some reason, the HDD took a few minutes after I logged in to Windows to get recognized.

  • Gracias, me funcionó sin enbargo tengo otra marca que no tiene ese switch

  • Thank you so much, I couldn't find the solution for my problem anywhere in the manual nor the specs of a drive I bought about the existence of this switch

  • I didn't even notice it had a switch until I disassembled to whole caddy (because I had purchased a thicker one and wouldn't fit) BUT the switch's pins aren't even soldered to the board only the ground side is soldered in. The heck?

  • Thanks a lot man… because everyone and every youtubers showing us how to install HDD in Caddy and SSD but they're not aware us for this types of situations and thy don't show that… thank you sooo much for helping me out…

  • Thanks a lot man. I have installed os in my new ssd and kept old hdd in optical drive. But laptop was not detecting hdd. When i exchanged the postions both drives were visible. Tried almost everything to get my hdd detected in optical drive. Finally watched your video and moved that tiny switch. Now hdd is visible is disk management. Thanks a lot dude.

  • Hello Sir, I don't know if you know about how to solve the below issue but still If you know how to solve it please let me know…

    I have a laptop hard disk which I had removed due to crashing issues. I have important data in that hard disk so I had purchased an external hardisk reader. I connected it to my Laptop and it shows it is a dynamic disk so the laptop cannot read it. I want to get all the flies from that hard disk…. Can you help me if you know any other way to make it readable without formatting it.

    I was thinking if I can purchase a caddy and put the hard disk into it and check if it can be readable…. Will it work??? Please let me know if you got any idea regarding it.

  • Thanks!
    You saved me the embarrassment of throwing a fit to the store owner for selling me a bad caddy or wasting money on another one.
    If only a friend knew this as well some years ago.

    Good health to you sir.

  • Tap on a clip to paste it in the text box.If i remove the HDD and put that in the dvd place by caddy and put the SSD in the the HDD's place, Can the laptop's motherboard be damaged in the long run?

  • Mine didnt have the switch and I realised why the caddy didnt work..i didn't insert it properly 😅

  • Hey there… My caddy is arriving today and I'm undecided whether I should flip the switch or not before initial install.. Or do I normally install the caddy, check if I have any problems, and flip the switch?
