Hello.
I currently have a Lenovo Ideapad 110-15ISK laptop. Noticing the recent drop in SSD prices, I’ve decided to upgrade my existing HDD (around $100 for 500GB). I intend to replace the current drive with an SSD and use it for Windows. I also plan to purchase a caddy to swap in the DVD drive and store the HDD there, as I haven’t used a CD/DVD in a while and prefer more storage space.

The issue is that local stores only sell caddies up to 9.5mm in height, and the DVD drive I need is only 9mm tall. I’m unsure whether to order a 9mm caddy online or try a 9.5mm one from the nearby store, hoping it fits.
Thank you in advance for your advice.

You might want to bring your DVD drive and check it against the one at the nearby shop.
Also, inquire with the store staff about returning it if it doesn’t fit your laptop; if not, consider purchasing it from an online seller.

The 9.5mm caddy doesn't fit the 9mm drive bay. I've attempted it before. Place your order online.

I need to place my Lenovo 9mm DVD drive into a HP 9.5mm DVD slot. Can someone please clarify the steps and whether I should use a Caddy?
