If the holes are different on the Toshiba, you may have to drill
some extra holes in the current caddy.

Pros:
If you have something small, like the 360 or 540, then it's worth it.
Also good is that you have more space.
Cons:
You may have to drill extra holes in the mounting bracket, or just buy
a new one.
You may have to get a T-something screwdriver if you don't already have
one.
I don't know how well that drive works in the 701.
If it's over 12.5mm, then you're stuck.
