HP Pavilion g6-1212sq
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
Hello to everybody!

I have a HP Pavilion g6-1212sqand I would like to replace the optical drive with a HDD installed inside a caddy/or something similar.
 
My difficulty is to find the right part on the market. I'm confusing because I saw that there is 12,7 mm size and 9,5 mm size. Is there someone that can help me indicating which of this two is good?
 
Will be appreciated any suggestion also where I can buy it, I live in Romania.
 
Thanks in advance to who will answer!

Hi,

 

Firstly your machine uses

  

     12.7 mm (0.50-in) fixed SATA tray load

 

Secondary: I don't know they will ship to Romania or not, please try:
