Hard drive caddy for Series 7?

[iangilroy]

Has anyone found a hard drive caddy that fits the Series 7? I'd like to replace the DVD drive with a second hard drive so any pointers to a suitable caddy would be great.

Here's a caddy from Newmodeus.com that might work for the slot drive DVD:

The Newmodeus.com caddy works perfectly! I now have 1 Terabyte of storage installed - 256 GB on SSD and 750 GB on the HDD.

No both bays are SATA III. There's an old post on this somewhere.
