All,

I've received today the notebookelite sata caddy and can confirm it's not working in the 2510p ...

I've made the test with two different hard drives with same results (Toshiba and Samsung).
The second harddrive is neither detected by BIOS or Windows
Sometimes for the Toshiba, I've got a fixed red LED on the caddy waiting long seconds for BIOS to boot, ending with a "Disk 0 startup error" anyway.
Seems either the SATA bridge has some issues or that BIOS is locked to detect only optical drive ?
Anyway, I've already switched my internal 1.8" harddisk to a 5400 rpm Samsung HS122JC and fired up a 4GB RAM module into my 2510p

This combination gives me quite satisfactory results under Vista
