What type of OptiBay is this and how do I use it

[Perrumpo]

This OptiBay came with a uMBP that I bought from the forums. Since it doesn't look like the one MCE has right now and since I haven't been able to find anything out about it in Google, I need some help knowing what kind it is, if it will suffice, and how to install it. It's going into a current model 17" MBP.

Here is a pic. Thanks for the help!

That is a MaxConnect optical bay kit.

This is cheaper than the Optibay. Any real difference/issues?

Thank you!

I wrote to them to see if I can use it in a 17". It came with a 15". Does anyone have an opinion on this Optical Bay? Is the MCE one better? Does the MaxConnect one hold the drive in place well enough like that?

It will be fine in the 17".

I used one of those in both a 15" and 17" MBP.

Ok, cool. I wasn't sure why they distinguish between the three sizes on their website since I thought it didn't matter and I know MCE's OptiBay is the same for each size. Thanks.
