    Thanks man.
    The hardest part for me was mounting the drive but by staring really hard at all the holes I managed to. Then I followed your install guide and it was a piece of cake.
    Now I can free my SSD and save all my catgirls on my hard drive.

    I have a hybrid bay type, I guess. Annoying part is that the bay slides out of the glass side, not the plate side. So I have to take the tray out of one side, put the HDD in, slide it back in the one side, then open the other side and screw with the wires. ... Then go back in the glass side to connect the data cable.

    I've heard some people in forums say that you have to be careful with which sata cable you get to make sure it matches the machine you're using like in terms of provider or brand or something? they claim it can damage the components if the wrong on is used. Is this true? or are all sata cables safe to use?
