Expand Your Opportunities

Have you ever wished you could put an SSD or 2nd HDD in your laptop, because you are feeling that the boot times and data access becomes more and more slowly or you have realized that you have far too much data to fit on your 1st regular HDD inside your laptop? By putting an IB-AC642 in your optical bay, you can add a SSD or second hard drive to your computer.

Furthermore, in the rare cases that you do need access to optical media; you can always plug in your old DVD drive externally by using the enclosed external
