The OWC Data Doubler Optical to SATA HD Converter Bracket for Mac Laptops is an exceptional tool if you want to replace your MacBook or MacBook Pro’s internal SuperDrive with your own slim 2.5″ SATA hard drive or solid state drive.* The converter bracket is made from black anodized aluminum and comes with a PCB circuit board. The circuit board can mount any 2.5″ SATA HDD or SDD that’s also 9.5 mm tall. It’s compatible with SATA 1.5Gbps, 3Gbps, and 6Gbps drives.
OWC makes the process of installing the converter bracket and replacing your Mac’s original optical drive easy. The entire converter bracket assembly fits into a MacBook or MacBook Pro 5.25″ optical drive bay. To facilitate installation, a five piece toolkit, a set of screws, and a detailed installation guide are included.
Once installed, your drive will be recognized like any other high speed SATA storage device and can be setup and partitioned using the Apple Disk Utility Program. You can also custom design how you want your internal storage to perform.

I used this in my 2010 Macbook Pro when I upgraded to a SSD. The data doubler saved my old HD from the landfill.

I replaced the HD with an SSD and I put the HD in place of the CD player (It didn’t work). In this case, this converter is totally necessary and convenient, easy to set up as long as you have a few notions of what you do.

Laptop was reporting hard drive as failing. Decided to replace my 5400rpm HDD with an SSD boot drive and a 7200rpm HDD into this Data Doubler. Instructions could have been a little better, but were easy enough to follow. Installation really was not that difficult. Kit came with all tools necessary for job and there were a few extra screws in the pack just in case I lost one of those tiny things. Tripled my onboard storage!
