Replace DVD with SSD
| # | Post |
|---|---|
| 1 | I have a Dell Optiplex SFF 9020 with a SSD and a DVD. The DVD has connectors that are different to a SSD. I have seen a Youtube video showing the replacement of the DVD with an SSD with an adapter caddy. hazelthecat - 2021-07-26 11:47:00 |

| 3 | Tried that but the caddies listed have std SSD connectors. It needs to interface with CD/DVD connectors. The Youtube video showed this specific caddy. hazelthecat - 2021-07-26 12:02:00 |

| 6 | Nice_lady - not sure how to do that. Will see what I can do. hazelthecat - 2021-07-26 12:36:00 |
| 7 | A Dell SFF PC uses a laptop DVD drive, maybe search for a laptop SATA adapter. kingfisher21 - 2021-07-26 12:48:00 |

| 11 | Isn't the DVD connector just power & data combined ie next to each other on a single plug, but fit every SATA device as their power / data sockets are exactly the same? bitsnpieces2020 - 2021-07-26 19:46:00 |
