Just upgraded Intel NUC Kit D54250WYKH with Crucial MX500 500GB SATA 2.5-inch 7mm (with 9.5mm adapter) Internal SSD (CT500MX500SSD1) and experiencing high hard drive temperatures (over 50C).
Raised fan minimum duty cycle and managed to lower HDD temperature to 48C per instructions:

Since D54250WYKH is discontinued and does not have the thermal pad already installed, how/where to purchase thermal pad for it?
I understand thermal pad should stick to chassis, but when closed it should slightly touch SSD which is 7mm (thinner than original 9.5mm).
Anybody aware of what exactly thermal pad should I purchase to resolve high SSD temperature?
Many thanks.
