Looking for an Optical Drive Caddy for HDD to Suit Dell Inspiron 15R - Help!

I'm looking for an Optical Drive Caddy for HDD to suit Dell Inspiron 15R (5520) from a local supplier. There's plenty on ebay from Hong Kong but none in australia.

Are the caddys pretty generic, like are most optical drives interchangable or are they specific to the laptop and manufacturer?

What I mean is will any old caddy do, or do i need to make sure I get one that specifically suits the Dell Inspriron 15R.

I appreciate the advice :)

It looks like the 12.7mm ones are generic.

They are probably fairly generic, but the bezel might be different.

    May I ask how you rate the quality? I bought one from China before, but the caddy had no bezel on it at all, despite it being marked for my laptop and photos showing it had it.

      I'll let you know when it gets here. I hope mine has a bezel :/
