Product: HP Laptop - 17z
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

All - I am looking to purchase an HP Laptop - 17z [https://store.hp.com/us/en/pdp/hp-laptop-17z-touch-optional-3qb09av-1] and want to know if any of you have swapped out the optical drive with a caddy in order to place a hard drive. I am not looking to boot from the hard drive in the caddy but only use as an extra drive for storage space. In the past I've purchased them from https://newmodeus.com but not sure the exact make/model of this "17z". If any of you know of a caddy certain to work with this laptop please do advise. Thanks!
