E-475M Modular bay

I have a one of these E-475M laptops that has one of these modular bay options. Does anyone know where I could obtain a caddy where I can add a second hard drive? That would allow me to swap out the current DVD/RW device for a drive. I guess there is also a battery option. I can't find info or part number so far.

Regards,
SL

Thank you. Apparently they have a drive sled but not much information on what that includes. It would require a converter board on it to take the sata drive interface so that it matches up with the modular bay connector. The picture just shows a plastic tray that hold the drive. It has to be more than that to work in the modular bay opening.

Regards.

Is there a chance that you can take and share some pics of this area of your notebook?

I don't but it would be identical to the item in this link -

only for the Gateway. These are compatible with multibay option of HP, Dell, IBM but doesn't mention Gateway. It looks like it would fit but I fear that the pinout may be different.

Generally the pin out should be the same if the frame fits. You can always ask the seller for confirmation before buying.
