Having trouble fitting all your games and movies on your laptop? Well, this does not just apply to Aspire 5920 itself, laptop with 2 harddrive bays can get up to 3 using this mod – THAT is if you are not going to use your DVD-ROM(bluray or whichever one you might have).
Got one of these off ebay for $20ish, not too bad to use old harddrives again!
As you can see here, the original drive is taken out
Here is a drive with the harddrive installed ready to be put in.
Comparason between the drive and the caddy

And its double the price Sigh!
When i go look at ebay, i can only find caddy with SATA interface for the optical part. Whereas one need the PATA like you have there. It is smart however that you are able to insert SATA HHD’s into the caddy’s which then is connected to the laptop via PATA

It’s necessary a PATA caddy 12.7mm and a PATA hard drive to put in
