It should work on any laptop which has a DVD drive which you don't use any more or use very rarely.

Just use the USB port buy a 256gb usb3 thumb drive and connect it, when you need to access it. You will still have your optical drive and you won't have to perform major surgery on your laptop.

It's hardly major surgery, my just pulls out and the and the HDD caddy can be bought for £6, so if you have a spare HDD the total cost would only be £6.
A cheap 250 gb thumb drive costs around £60 here in the UK, no contest !!

Clever. I thought of doing that, but I don't need the storage, and I want to keep my optical drive.

I use my DVD drive all the time to play movies and to copy my images to disk.

I have a plug-in USB drive that I can use, too. Very handy.
