G73 2nd HDD/SSD caddy?

Retired

My G73, with its two drive bays, only came with one caddy. I'm assuming this is normal. Where can I get another caddy? Nowhere on the ASUS site is there a section to order parts like that. Right now my SSD is just kind of chillin' in there with no caddy. The SSD is really light, so I'm sure it'll be okay for now, but I'd much rather have a caddy to mount it in.

A bit of folded paper or some foam from the box your SSD came in should hold it until you get the caddy.

I found you a link to a store on Ebay:

Personally I just live with a bit of foam in there pressed against the cover. Like you said it's lightweight enough that it's not really an issue.

Hello Matt,

To find accessories for ASUS products you can check http://estore.asus.com

I believe the following link may be what you're looking for but eStore does not currently have it in stock. However, it should be in stock soon.

Best Regards,

Thanks a bunch. Hopefully when they come in stock they aren't too expensive for what they are. The SSD doesn't really require one, but if I want to mount another traditional HDD in there it will be nice to have it on hand.

Oh nice, been looking for a website or e-tailer to get one of these for a while. Double-sided sticky tape just doesn't cut it....

It would be nice if the store actually had them listed anymore, much less in-stock.

I need one of these too. I find it extremely ridiculous that in the first place the second caddy isn't included with the laptop, and secondly they aren't even available to buy right now. Honestly they should be free when they are available, in my eyes you shipped in incomplete laptop and for as much as these laptops that is quite ridiculous.

It shouldn't be included in the laptop... the product is sold for people that want to purchase a single harddrive. upgrading to a 2nd is just an option and possibility.

I just talked to our estore team and at the moment we have discontinued bringing them in. They are unsure when they would start to bring them in again. sorry guys..
