Aspire E5-575G-51GB DVD replacement with HDD

McPuppa

Good morning,

 

I'm writing from Italy, I own a new Aspire E5-575G-51GB and I found this thread looking for information about the thickness of the DVD player because I would like to replace the player with a secondary HDD (I already have a SDD and I don't want to buy an M.2 one) and I need to buy the right frame but I don't find any info if it's 9mm, 9.5mm or 12.7mm.

Reading this thread I just suppose it's 9mm but the model is not extact the same and I want to be sure.

The italian support (also the technical one) didn't tell me nothing useful, so I try this forum that seems me better.

Another question, to extract the drive e refix the frame I only need to remove the screw near the driver or all the bottom cover?

 

regards

Hello,

 

You could buy this HDD caddy and a HDD of 9.5mm. You can easily check the height of the housing by removing the DVD drive.

Only the screw.
