    Hi Everyone,

    I'm hoping you can help me locate a site that i stumbled upon recently but failed to bookmark and now seem to have forgotten.

    I have been looking into replacing the optical drive on my soon to arrive MBP15 with an SSD. I found a UK based company producing a kit very similar to the MCE OptiBay drive kit. It featured the bay plus a very nice looking external superdrive enclosure which utilised a single USB connection. The whole kit cost approx £60. If my memory serves (which usually it doesn't) the company was called something along the lines HDCaddy.

    I really want to buy their kit, but for the life of me can't find them again.

    Your help is appreciated
