Product: HP 15-db0035nl
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi! As you can see from the title, I recently bought a notebook (HP 15-db0035nl) and I'd like to unmount the optical drive to put a caddy (I'm sure you know what that is), and add more space with an HDD.

I couldn't find on the internet the size of the optical drive, is it 9.5, 9 or another format?
Thanks in advance, have a good evening.

This is the Service Manual:

 

Manual

 

Optical drive
9.0 mm tray load
DVD+/-RW Double-Layer Writer
 
 
As you likely know, a 9.5 mm will not fit in a 9 mm slot so you need one specifically for 9 mm 
 
Post back with any questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.
