2nd Hard Drive Caddy SATA - Latitude D830

Hello, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. I'm looking for a 2nd Hard Drive caddy for the modular bay on the D830. I need this to support a SATA hard drive.

 

Any ideas? I can't seem to find anything on the Dell site. I ordered one from another company and it just seems like a piece of junk. I'm sending it back.

 

Thanks

 

Josh

    You're not going to find one from Dell - the D-bay supports parallel ATA only, and since the D-series is on its way to retirement, you won't see any released.  Third-party is the only way to do it.

     

    The newer E-series will take SATA devices in the media bay.

    are you sure? a Pro Support agent told me about 2 hours ago in regard to a D620 that  "Yes, the modular bay does support SATA 1"

    I'm guessing she's talking about SATA 1.5GBit/s, and if the D*20 supports it, then the D*30 should too.
