Can I replace my DVD burner for HDD on Aspire E5-551G-T018 ?
Hi,
Recently I opened up my lapy acer aspire E5-551G-T018 in order to replace my 1TB HDD for 240GB SSD.
And now recently I saw on one website that there are these caddy's which can be used to replace DVD rom for additional HDD or SSD.
My laptop does have a DVD. It is held by just one screw in the back. The DVD rom does not have SATA connector but some smaller connector then SATA, I dont know its name.
What I was wondering is could it be possible to replace the DVD rom on this model for a caddy with my old HDD in it?
And if it is possible. Which thickness would I need for my future caddy?
Thank you!

Are you 100% positive that this is the size I need? 9.5mm?
