WTB CF-31 hard disk drive Caddy w/ heater cable

Just got my CF31 Mk5 and its been a few years since I have played with a toughbook.

I want to keep the drive it came with as the backup/spare for if/when I screw up an installation. I see several on Ebay that look correct but have been burned before with the "works with" on my previous Toughbook.

I have a legal unused Win10 64 DVD that I will use to as a clean new install as I think the copy of Win10 it came with may not be legit as it has a "Microsoft Certified Specialized PC" sticker but no windows product key sticker.

Thanks.
