Need to slot in a SSD on my Lenovo Z50-70. Having checked the specifications:

  • 2.5-inch, 9.5 mm SATA HDD
  • 9.0 mm internal optical drive (rambo)

I'm pretty sure a 9.5 mm caddy will do. Since I've never done this before, could somebody confirm that? I found a few topics on lenovo forums, but none of them had the exact specification of the caddy.

Also, could somebody recommend a decent caddy? (Is Storite any good?)

Thanks.

You beat me. I'm also looking to do the same DIY mod on my Z50-70. Need Pro's for their recommendations though.

I bought this caddy and installed 850 evo as my primary disk; Moved HDD into Caddy. My first DIY and it faired really well. :)
