It comes in two different sizes, the 12.7mm version and a smaller 9.5mm one..

Please help..

It is the 9.5 mm form factor. Make sure you understand the limitations of a storage drive in an ODD adapter. Can't boot from it and transfer speed is limited. The only thing you can really do with it is use it for storage. I would not put an SSD in one, for example as the extra price for the speed would be wasted. A 5400 rpm mechanical hard drive is the best option. Big and inexpensive.
