I'm looking to upgrade the drive in my 08 unibody machine and strip out the now dead DVD drive. I've heard conflicting reports about whether a generic caddy to fit there will work or whether the OWC data doubler is much better. Has anyone any experiences of either?
Got a tip for us?

OWC Data Doubler or generic caddy?

Going generic, you run the risk of getting something ill fitting, I guess for the price do you want to roll the dice?
Personally, I'd go with the data doubler just to be safe but since I don't need one, I'm not sure of the price difference. My tune may change if its a huge price difference.

I have used generic ebay $10 caddies for my 13" 2008 and 2010 Unibody Macbook Pros and encountered no problems. A generic caddy will fit and work fine
Same here. Replaced my optical drive with a caddy and SSD. Works just fine.
