Oddly enough, mine came with no DVD drive but a blanking… thing, which seems to be a trimmed-down version of this official adapter (HP SPS 734298-001) without the electronics. I bought a cheap chinese ODD caddy, tore it down and salvaged the logic board. Luckily, I got everything lined up after a few adjustments (the chinese logic board is a bit longer than the HP one).

Now I’m rocking an extra drive bay without paying the $75 some shops ask for the official one.

I use it as swappable storage (not hot-swappable, mind you) . Very handy for doing drive imaging and cloning when working as an IT technician out in the field.
