Different laptop manufacturers use different caddies. Depending on the 
age of the hard drive and the laptop, the drives themselves are often 
identical in form factor and connections. We have a bunch of laptops at 
work and often need to swap drives due to drive failures or mission 
changes for the laptops, and as long as you are careful with the screws 
for the caddy, and the caddy itself, it's generally not a difficult process.
