Remove optical drive

#1 Post by carbuff » Wed Apr 08, 2015 3:06 am

I have read instructions and seen video about installing second hard drive/SSD into vacant T430 optical drive bay.

However, I have been unable to find instructions or video about how to remove an installed CD/DVD drive from optical drive bay.

Please point me to source or list steps to do so.

Thank you.

1 Intel 180GB SSD to 2 - Crucial MX100 512GB SSD
Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 Pro

Runs fast and reliable

Type "remove T430 optical drive" into Google. The 3rd link shows it pretty clear in pictures. There's a link to a video on the 4th link.
