I am trying to dual boot windows and linux by putting my second ssd in this optical drive caddy. However, the caddy is not recognized by the BIOS. As far as I can tell from this site, I am running the latest version for my model (v1.21).
When I turn on the computer, the blue light on the caddy lights up so I am assuming there is at least getting stata power if not data. Did I get a bricked caddy? Unfortunately I do not have another laptop to test it in. The ssd works perfectly if I put it directly in the hard drive slot.
Any suggestions?

There are a few reasons this could happen:
Sadly, there isn't much you can do about any of these problems. Your best hope of getting it to work is trying as others have suggested in the comments; place the HDD in the caddy and put the SSD into the main drive bay. But if that doesn't work, you're out of luck.
