The laptop hard drive caddy secures your laptop's hard drive into place and connects it with the motherboard.
Laptop computer hard drives are generally mounted into a separate hard drive tray, and IDE or ATA style drives usually require a separate adapter to allow the hard drive to connect to the laptop motherboard .
Recently introduced SATA or Serial-ATA type laptop hard drives do not require a separate connector in order to interface with the laptop PC. This laptop hard drive carrier assembly is then installed inside the notebook computer and protects the hard drive from exposure and damage.
Newer hard drives are more shock resistant than ever, and more recent hard disk drive caddy models also provide protection against shock and vibration. Frequently a single screw removal is all that is required to prepare the hard drive to be removed from the computer, making it very easy to swap drives, like when you have a drive for business purposes and then a drive for personal use.
