Second Hard Drive Caddy in place of CD drive....

Does Dell make a hard drive caddy to fit where the CD drive goes? I'm pretty sure it was available for my i8600 but I don't see it for the XPS2...

I don't think they do as the XPS Gen. 2's optical drive isn't meant to be swaped out "on the fly." I looked but could not find it.

It can be done with an adapter made in China. I bought it from a Chinese gentleman. I installed a Seagate Momentus 100gig 5400rpm drive in the adapter. You can read up on it in this tread:

If anyone is going to organize a group buy on this let me know. I would like to get one but navigating that site is hard. Too bad they would not sell on english ebay to make easier
