## Questions & Answers

**Q: Which of the three channel selector (a, b, or c) is being used for dell n4010 laptop?**
A: I no longer have the laptop I used it in. I remember using it in place of my DVD drive and changing some of the settings in the bios and/or control panel to allow the computer to recognize it. I was running a SSD drive and didn't use the selector and it worked just fine. The drive in my laptop was also a SSD. Hope it helps. This is not a dell part so they would not know what you were talking about. This Caddy is brand neutral. My laptop was a Toshiba. Hope this helps.

**Q: I was wondering what the 3 way switch will do? I did a plug and play and it worked. But, the speed of the drive is low (I'm booting from caddy)**
A: I also am trying to find a more technical answer to this. But what i have found out, it has something to do with making it compatible with varying laptops. If your having trouble putting pc to sleep then switching switch can solve this. 
But as far as what each position does, i have not found that info yet. 
You can try in another position to see if your speed changes.

**Q: I see there ia a small switch on the side, is that for configuration on what laptop it will work on? if so I have a dell on what position up or down?**
A: Never noticed a switch and it worked on my Dell.

**Q: What is the "three channel" feature designed for? many people asked, but few got an answer. does this "ground" something? how should toshibas use it?**
A: Thats just for the connector size. If you have a model that works with it and can use the sata connector on the caddy you should be good. Theres a handful of youtube videos out there that can help with this one what you need for your laptop. The only reason i got this was because hp support pointed me in the direction of this drive caddy and set it would work.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works perfectly.
*by N***T on August 14, 2024*

Put it in a Dell R710 server to hold an SSD for my OS install. It interfaced perfectly with the CD Drive connectors and it read the drive with no problem. No slow down on R/W speed either.Well worth the small amount of money.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works in Acer Aspire V3-572-734Y
*by J***S on November 24, 2021*

When I replaced the original HDD in my computer with a SSD I saw that there was a bay where Acer could have installed a DVD drive but had not done so. With this caddy I was able to reinstall the old HDD as a secondary drive so now I have lots of storage and am using the HDD to reduce writing on the SSD so it should last longer. For the cost of the caddy I got an extra terabyte of storage on the computer, not a bad deal.The only thing I was not entirely happy about was that I could not find a way to secure the caddy directly to the computer. It's not the caddy's fault, just the way Acer built the computer. However when I put everything back together, the keyboard seems to hold the caddy firmly in position. I have traveled with the computer and moved it around and I don't see any sign of the caddy shifting in the computer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked with a small annoyance
*by T***G on March 26, 2024*

This worked in my Asus ROG G75. The only minor issue I have is, the screws included in the kit are too small. On the underside of the case there are 4 holes in the frame to secure your ssd to the frame. The screw holes in the frame are larger than the heads of these screws. I would still purchase the item again, and it does what I need it to do, just looks like they didn't look at their own design when they provided the screws.
