HDD Caddy for Lenovo ThinkPad W Series (W500 W510 W520 W530)

Last crawled date: 5 years, 3 months ago

This remix fits my W510, and the Caddy is supposed to be the same for the following models: W500 W510 W520 W530
There is a small bit of extra clearance for a shielded wire that intrudes into my HDD compartment. Let me know in the comments if you have any trouble or suggestions, or you think mine is assembled improperly in that way (I got it used--I only removed the HDD compartment cover, and changed nothing else).
Differences from version:
It is narrower for the Lenovo ThinkPad W series (the total width is now 73.746 mm).
For easier measuring, the cones are now no longer tilted and have matching vertices along the top.
The screw hole cones are now spaced properly, are no longer rotated, and are the correct distance from the bottom.
See https://www.tweaktown.com/articles/4096/ocz_technology_vertex_3_ssd_form_factor_bigger_isn_t_always_better/index2.html for measurements (in mm). The measurements below are from there, and screw hole measurements are to the center.
Length: 99.7
Plug end to first hole: 14.2
First hole to next: 76.15
Bottom to holes: 2.9
You can also see the measurements in Blender:
Enable the MeasureIt add-on.
Expand the right panel.
Click the "View" side tab.
Expand MeasureIt then click "Show"


For easier modification (in the blend file), it is mostly n-gons (minimal edges) and a mirror modifier.
