Silver aluminium 9mm SATA HDD caddy enclosure for notebook optical bay

YINGHUA

YINGHUA 9mm SATA HDD Caddy Aluminium Enclosure Bay

SKU CH-Z2ZX-Z9Z6E

A 9 mm aluminium caddy converts a notebook optical-drive bay into a second SATA drive slot and weighs 70 g

  • Adds a second SATA drive to a 9.0 mm optical bay
  • Aero-grade magnesium aluminium alloy with anodised finish
  • Three positioning holes match the original drive mount
  • Taiwanese SATA interface rated below 1/1000 defect rate
  • Four side-lock screws secure the drive in 3D alignment

Universal 9mm SATA HDD Caddy

The YINGHUA caddy converts a 9.0 mm optical drive bay into a second SATA storage slot for notebooks, all-in-one PCs and servers. It accepts any 2.5-inch drive with a SATA interface and secures it with four side-lock screws. The aeronautical aluminium shell adds rigidity while keeping weight to approximately 70g.

Suits single-drive laptops needing extra capacity

Builders who want to add a secondary hard drive or SSD without losing the optical drive will find this a direct fit. Systems that use a thinner or thicker bay, or that require a different mounting pattern, cannot use this enclosure. Buyers who need tool-free drive swaps or hot-swap capability should look elsewhere.

9.0 mm SATA bay thickness

The single specification that decides compatibility is the 9.0 mm bay height combined with a SATA interface. If the host device has a 9.0 mm optical drive slot and a SATA connection, the caddy will install using the three positioning holes. Any other bay height or interface makes the part unsuitable.

Questions about this item

Does my laptop need a 9.0 mm SATA optical-drive bay to fit this 130*128*9 mm caddy?

Yes, it replaces a 9.0 mm thick SATA optical drive in notebooks, all-in-ones or servers.

Will a 7 mm SATA SSD sit securely in the four side-lock screws and three positioning holes?

The tray uses four side-lock screws and 3D positioning; a 7 mm drive may need a spacer to reach the 9 mm height.

How do I confirm the caddy's SATA pass-through is working after installation?

The new drive should appear in BIOS and the operating system as a standard SATA storage device.
