My Mid 2012 13" MBP's System Report shows a Link Speed of 6Gbs for my optical drive connection (should support SATA3.0). Using the first optical bay I purchased, my computer would not recognize a 2TB SATA3.0 HDD, a 120GB SSD nor would it recognize a 1TB SATA2.0 HDD. Strangely, the caddy worked with the stock SATA2.0 HDD.
I bought a different caddy from Amazon and all drives worked perfectly. Correct me if I'm wrong but most Mid 2012 13" MBPs should support SATA3.0 in the optical bay. If your SATA3.0 drive isn't recognized by your MBP, it could be due to a compatibility issue between the drive and the caddy you purchased. Try purchasing a different caddy before giving up.
Great guide!!! I've now replaced two MagSafe cables without much of a problem. I bought the replacements on amazon.... no problems yet.
If you use regular needle nose pliers (or snap ring for that matter) tape the ends so that you don't damage the case. Also, start prying apart on the short end of the case as there is less adhesive. Two clamps are better than one when closing up the case. Good luck!
