I have an Asus G55, I plan on removing the cdrom drive and would like to replace it with a 1TB HD 2.5 inch, was wondering if
http://www.amazon.com/Universal-12-7mm-Driver-Aluminum-Optical/dp/B009ARNWJK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=...

is the correct product I need to complete this upgrade. Any help would be awesome. I am going to put http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Solid-Hybrid-2-5-Inch-ST1000LM014/dp/B00B99JUBQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid... in replacement of my optical drive. Has anyone already done this before?

Looks like the correct caddy to me, and that drive will fit the caddy perfectly. I haven't done this on my ASUS, but on a couple of other laptops.
