ODD HDD Caddy for G55V

I just spent a couple bucks on an hdd caddy for my op[tical bay that didn't fit into the laptop. If anyone has had experience with optical drive hdd caddies for the g55 series could you help me out? I don't care about anything special, I just want the drive to work. If anyone has been successful in the past, what caddy did you use and if possible could you spare a link to it?

The caddy I bought was the correct form factor, it just wouldn't slide all the way in. It felt as if there was blockage, but the original odd still worked like a charm. I'm hoping to get a model that is known to work in the G55V model.

what we need is a 12.7mm sata-to-sata adaptor:

mine works fine.

Thanks. I actually bought one off of amazon listing. It doesn't work, but it is severely cheep and due to the fact that it is entirely in Chinese I assume it's just some cheap knockoff. I'll try getting my hands on one either through another listing or a different website. Thanks. I couldn't help being skeptical after my first drive wouldn't fit despite it matching a 12.7 hdd caddy.
