Hi.

I am going to buy HP 15-AY503TX, but can I install an SSD and also use the HDD with the following steps?

 

1. Replace original HDD with an SDD.

2. Replace the Optical Drive(DVD) with the original HDD using a Caddy.

 

SSD: http://www.amazon.in/dp/B01AAKZRPW/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=ETJYQC0OMHDO&coliid...

 

Caddy: http://www.amazon.in/dp/B00KZJBZDC/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=ETJYQC0OMHDO&coliid...

 

Please check whether the SSD and Caddy are compatable with this laptop? Also specify the dimensions of the Caddy needed ( 9.5mm or 12.7mm?).

 

Thank You.

The SSD is ok but the caddy is not.You need a caddy which can fit the following size of the existing ODD (Optical Disc Drive)

 

             Fixed, serial ATA, 9.5-mm tray load

 

Regards.
