Why Use A Hard Drive Caddy

A 2nd hard drive caddy, also referred to as a bay adapter or drive enclosure, is a case, typically composed of metal or plastic, within which a hard drive can be placed and removed. The exterior of the caddy typically houses two female sockets designed for power and data transfer. These sockets connect to the same adapter types that are found on a typical motherboard.

Versatility: using 9.5mm caddy in other 9.5mm/12.7mm optical bay systems
The 9.5mm SATA-to-PATA/PATA caddy slides straight into a 12.7mm PATA optical drive bay. A great way of sharing data at full speed between hosts, without having to setup a network or be limited to USB speed. Can then hotswap the caddys between multiple systems. The SATA version likely to offer same versatility.

Adding a 1.8" SSD/HDD in a 2.5" drive bay
1.8-to-2.5" adapters allows a 1.8" SSD or HDD to be installed in the optical bay caddy or 2.5" primary bay. SATA adapters shown here. PATA adapter is available on ebay for a few dollars.

Benefits of hard drive caddies include easy drive removal for security, data transfer and data protection purposes. Hard drive caddies also provide higher transfer speeds and storage capacities than common portable media devices such as DVDs, CDs and USB flash drives.
