SKU CH-GGRA-71GFM

  • Adds mSATA or M.2 SSD storage in the 9.5mm optical bay
  • 13-pin Slimline SATA connects directly to the laptop DVD slot
  • Plug-and-play installation with no drivers needed
  • Durable case protects the SSD from vibration and damage

Universal 9.5mm Optical Bay Adapter

This caddy converts mSATA or NGFF B/MKey M.2 SSDs for installation into a 9.5mm laptop optical drive bay. It uses a 13pin Slimline SATA interface to connect directly to the existing CD/DVDROM slot. Plugandplay design requires no drivers for immediate storage expansion. A durable shell protects the SSD from vibration and physical damage during mobile use.

For Laptop Storage Upgrades

Suits owners of laptops with a 9.5mm thick optical bay who want to add an mSATA or NGFF B/MKey SSD without removing the primary drive. Builders needing a thinner 7mm bay adapter or a different interface connector should look at other solutions. Users whose laptops lack an internal optical drive bay entirely cannot use this caddy. The product does not support drives requiring a protocol other than SATA.

13pin Slimline SATA Interface

The single specification that determines compatibility is the 13pin Slimline SATA connector on the laptop motherboard. This adapter only functions when the optical bay provides that exact interface and a 9.5mm mounting height. Verify the bay thickness and connector type before purchase to ensure the caddy will fit and operate correctly.
