Which Optibay for MBP13 late 2011

[repelus]

I just bought a MBP13 yesterday, and I would like to install an optibay and a SSD.

I did the same in my MBP17 early 2009, but I read in some Optibays in Amazon and Ebay that they are not for 2011 models.

Where can I find a Optibay for 2011 models?

Thank you so much.

I think the original (and expensive) Optibay is compatible

I prefer no the original, it is too expensive.

I would like to find a similar for 2011...

I wouldn't get a cheap "optibay" off of eBay or Amazon. They're usually made cheap and I wouldn't trust putting one in my MacBook Pro. I'd recommend the OWC (Other Word Computing) Data Doubler. It pretty much works the same as the Optibay and is only $65 compared to the $100 of the Optibay. I have one in my MacBook Pro right now and it works great!

Get either the basic $13 one from eBay that just fits snugly, or the $23 one that screws into the factory holes. Both are available from Fenvi and Nimitz (both eBay sellers)

Did you mean that these ones are compatible with my MBP13 late 2011?

here:

OWC

everything you will need is there.

I have a 15" 2011 MBP 2.2 that i just bought a second ssd to place place of the optical drive.

OWC makes it easy peezey lemon squeezey

or did you actually need the drive? b/c how and why did you buy MBP without a drive if thats the case
