Here is the Service Manual:

The optical drive is actually 9 mm, not 9.5. A 9.5 will not fit. 9 mm are a little harder to find. 

This one is said to fit either 9 or 9.5:

A 9.0 will work in a 9.5 slot but not vice versa. 

You might also want to know your laptop may have an internal M.2 slot to add an M.2 SSD (SATA). It creates a much more flexible and faster installation, although technically a bit more of a challenge. So post back if you want to explore that or I have provided a link to an optical caddy that would work and if that's all you needed, please accept as solution. Thanks.
