I have an Asus GL552J and im wondering how can i install an ssd by replacing the optical drive? if possible can give me link whr to buy the caddy to replace optical drive in order to put the ssd since i dont know if its compatible or not with my laptop .
Last but not least, will it void my laptop warranty ?

Hi you'll have to check with Asus Malaysia directly if you are going to open up your laptop, even though the ODD is usually only one screw. Check out: http://hddcaddy.com/en/asus-hdd-caddy/1323...-hdd-caddy.html

You just have to make sure what your ODD size in your Asus is, looks to be 9mm or 9.5mm, do verify it.

The other thing to note is the "faceplate transfer" which the first link above will explain.

Good luck!

i forgot to ask, but how will it affect my warranty ?

For Asus I am not sure.

For MSI Gaming laptops we have got confirmation on these forums that, officially, replacing ODD (as it doesn't involve heatsink, etc.), AFAIK, one can do it themselves as long as no damage has been done (like accidentally snapping a cable, bending the motherboard, etc.), it will still be covered by warranty.

Again, while the procedure is usually quite simple, best to check with Asus Malaysia.
