Unique-Bargains HDD SSD Thickening Pad Frame 7mm to 9.5mm Black 5pcs

Set of five black spacer frames adapts 7 mm drives to 9.5 mm bays in laptops and desktops

  • Converts 7mm drives to 9.5mm bays for secure laptop installation

  • Lightweight 22g plastic adds thickness without noticeable weight
  • Durable construction withstands repeated drive swaps in laptops and desktops
  • Rectangular pad design fits standard hard-drive caddies and enclosures

7mm to 9.5mm Drive Spacer Kit

This five-piece frame set converts 7 mm hard drives or solid-state drives to the 9.5 mm height required by many laptop bays and drive caddies. It is aimed at anyone fitting a slim drive into a thicker slot without loose movement. The black plastic spacers snap around the drive body for a secure fit.

Replaces Makeshift Shims

The frames eliminate the need for folded paper, tape or custom brackets when a 7 mm drive sits loose in a 9.5 mm bay. The upgrade is worth it whenever the original drive tray or laptop chassis expects the taller form factor and the thinner drive would otherwise rattle or fail to connect. Each piece weighs 22 g and is moulded for repeated insertion and removal.

Check Drive Height and Bay Shape

Verify that the drive you are installing measures exactly 7 mm thick and that the target bay or caddy accepts a 9.5 mm device. The spacers are rectangular pads, so confirm the drive and bay share the same rectangular profile before ordering. They are not suitable for drives already at 9.5 mm or for non-rectangular mounting surfaces.

Questions about this item

What thickness increase does the 7 mm to 9.5 mm frame provide for a slim drive?

Each frame adds the material needed to bring a 7 mm drive up to the standard 9.5 mm bay height so it seats securely in the caddy.

How do I install the thickening pad on a 2.5-inch SSD or hard drive?

Peel the adhesive backing, align the rectangular pad with the drive’s bottom edge, press firmly, then slide the assembly into the drive bay or caddy.

When should I replace one of the five black plastic frames?

Replace a frame if the plastic cracks, the adhesive fails, or the drive becomes loose in the bay after repeated swaps.
