From where did you purchased the caddy?

Bro, my dvd rom is 9mm thick. Is it possible to fit 9.5mm caddy here?

check at 4:10 he mentioned that use 9.5mm or less

because he wants to use ssd and hdd at the same time and ssds are fail safe no matter how many times they are used but incase of hdd if the your laptop cuts the supply to your hdd thinking that it is a dvd drive to save battery then your hdd will not work until you restart you system again

Did you know the caddy size for asus x455l

I learned this the hard way. Broke some small parts, but still okay.

there is windows program to transmit wimdows from hdd to ssd, i dont know program name but if you search it you get result

Gas Media The first setup will work but it might not be good for the HDD. I tried doing that and I've noticed the sound of suddenly cutting the power of the HDD, that is, inside the HDD the read and write arm resetting to it's default position in an instant resulting in a scratching sound while shutting down the computer every single time but in the current SATA port before shutting down the HDD is given time to reset its internal components before power is cut. In one word, that port is designed for a mechanical HDD. For an SSD though it doesn't matter much when you cut it's power since it doesn't have mechanical parts inside. So I recommend the second setup. Hope it helps :)

thx a lot for your response! one more thing: there is a speed factor between the two options? can i use the caddy as a primary OS storage?

Gas Media Bus speed of these ports are much higher than the drives and yes the SSD in the caddy can be used as a primary storage for the OS. I have been personally using the exact same setup for more than a year now without any problem. Cheers! :)

Deep Roy but not the same speed from the hd sata and optical drive sata just saying.

@@pickswarrior I'm sorry but what does that mean?

Use 7mm ssd and buy 9.5mm caddy. it will fit perfectly

Matias Gomez I've been using this setup for myself more than 2 years now without any trouble. I have a feeling that the process you're talking about is completed very quickly in a SSD as I haven't seen any data become corrupt or BSOD in mine. Hope it helps and happy new year :) 🎉

Deep Roy thanks for answering so fast. I thought that as it was an ssd it may complete those processes much faster, thanks for confirming it. And happy new year too

did you did it, it works fine? im trying to do the same

You have to setup Windows 10 on the SSD

I would like to know too

so best option for this laptop model is hdd in optical bay caddy, ssd in hhd place?

Did you change anything else besides that? Like disabling power managment for the optical drive

@@mcmc3001 if you understand the issue and know how to solve it, then sure go ahead and replace the old hdd with the new ssd. Apparently the x555 line of Asus laptops have the issue of the hdd not working properly when removed of their original place. I really don't think there will be a huge difference in performance when you change the hdd to the ssd and adding the hdd to the caddy compared to what is seen in the video (ssd in the caddy, hdd in its original place).

Xardos You could have just unplugged the old HDD and let the notebook boot with only the SSD in it. That's how I did it. Anyway, glad to know the BIOS update worked for you + you now have the latest BIOS. Cheers :)

Yup, shown at 4:12 for more explanation

Carl Louie Garcia Does the laptop have a DVD drive?

You should know your mortherboard model and details.

Thank you very much. I was planning to do an hdd caddy setup. Because another ssd would be so pricy. Mine is already ssd as default. So I needed bigger storage. Thank you for your comment! I got discouraged becoz of the comment of on the video but now Im okay with proceeding.

Hello bro.. is " screeching " sound normal ? It comes on restart. After installing HDD in caddy. Is my HDD safe?

@@sumitdua7358 any update?

@@zcodec369 any update?

Sorry for all these questions but I'd appreciate it greatly if you could answer them!

The length, breadth and shape of typical 15.6” notebook CD/DVD-drives are usually the same, the most important thing (I believe) to be careful about while buying a caddy is its thickness. Ok so as far as I know and have seen happening to my notebook, if you put your OS in any kind of SSD (irrespective of the port connected to and expecting you have moderate specifications) you’ll notice a huge speed boost in app load and OS boot speeds compared to a HDD especially if you’re using one of those newer OSs (Windows 10 for example) Search in youtube “how to transfer OS to SSD”. Now everyone will use some usb to SATA cable to connect the new SSD. All you have to remember is that your caddy works the same way as their cable. You don’t necessarily have to buy a cable for the transfer process if your SSD doesn’t come with one My OS and all programs are installed in the SSD. Games, pictures, videos, music and other bulk data are in the HDD. The SSD is primary since it contains the OS and (as far as I know) does not depend on the port connected to. I strongly recommend NOT putting the HDD IN THE CADDY. I personally experienced the power cut thingy, it wasn’t written anywhere. As far as I know, mechanical drives have a tendency to go bad because of sudden power cuts. Hope it helps :)

Deep Roy THANKS A TON FOR THE REPLY! It really helps man and I really appreciate it! Ah I thought only if you put the ssd in the actual spot (where the HDD is initially when you buy it) will it be considered. I didn't know whichever storage that has the os will be considered primary :P Anyway once again thanks a ton man! Much love

My pleasure :)

A standard 2.5 SSD would fit .. most of the SSDs you see SSDs are 2.5 SSDs .. although you'll need to buy the caddy seperately

Yohann coachTRAINING yah that's the information i was looking for. Thanks so much

Simply change the two. Put the HDD into the optical drive case and the faster SDD to the place of the HDD.

the two ports are sata 3

@@malatestaaa Are you secure of that my fried? i want to put one ssd in my asus x555ya laptop but i´m realy not secure if the optical drive sata port is 3, 2 or 1.

Adrian I don't think I've seen such an option in the BIOS

Deep Roy wow. Thanks for your fast respond. By the way, are you sure that it's danger to place hdd in optical drive slot? Cause I've seen so many methods that say it's better to place ssd in hdd bay (as system file installation) while hdd should be placed in optical drive (as data storage)

Adrian That setup will work but it might not be good for the HDD. I tried doing that and I've noticed the sound of suddenly cutting the power of the HDD, that is, inside the HDD the read and write arm resetting to it's default position in an instant resulting in a scratching sound while shutting down the computer every single time but in the current SATA port before shutting down the HDD is given time to reset its internal components before power is cut. In one word, that port is designed for a mechanical HDD. For an SSD though it doesn't matter much when you cut it's power since it doesn't have mechanical parts inside. Hope it helps :)

Did you find out what size it was?

WarriorDeAceR Sorry for the late reply. If you want to use 2 SSDs then you have absolutely nothing to worry about. For example, my OS was in the SSD and so was my steam client but my r6 siege game files were in the HDD and it worked without any issue. Hope it helps :)

Deep Roy Thank you!

Leonardo Brandão Gonçalves Both methods are fine. Sorry for the late reply, I missed the notification :)

Deep Roy I was install. Work perfectly, thanks

Leonardo, tenho algumas dúvidas, vc poderia entrar em contato por e-mail? iurilm1@gmail.com

Your problem is the connection cable. It is very sensitive when in and out. Check with a magnifier if I am right.

Re install you windows again and install asus smart gesture driver

Hey there Piyush. Apologies for the late response 🙂 This video might help: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nriigJOZyp7Ukqc.htmlsi=Bn51GffHDHUwraN0 oh and Merry Christmas 🎄✨

Not for the os speed or any app not installed on the ssd directly.

did you found the solution?

I no longer have it.. Hahaha

9.5mm, seen at 4:12

Yes with mssd , but it's rare , more expensive and not has good

Brian Michael Poblete Prashant Chaudhary Sorry, I forgot to record that but at 0:14 I've shown where the clips go. Hope it helps :)

I recommend to you to look for 'Windows10Debloater-master' and execute it in PowerShell to stop aka delete a lot of useless stuff included in windows 10, just look for a tutorial

thanks man!

SSD works better in the primary HDD slot not in caddy

but in this video he said that if you put hdd in caddy the laptop will cut its power in asus x555 series, did it happen to you?

@@izukieternalart it cuts the power a little sooner than it would if it was in primary. I don’t carry or restart my laptop much so it doesn’t bother me at the moment.

@@tarikdemirok Does this happen also with the latest BIOS update? I mean there is a 2019 version of the bios, or is this a Windows issue?

9.5mm in the video

Hi, does it work correctly? :)

its better if you make ssd as your primary i guess
