>> Is it likely that the laptop will accept a 15mm HDD << I wouldn't expect that. Since you have a folded network-connector, me thinks that your laptop is very thin. Thus a 15mm HD would not fit. Those thick HDs are normally for Server usage. Just screw around 😊 and look for the HD enclosure.
Also I wouldn't go with a mechanical HD in a Laptop anymore. Samsung has already 1, 2 and 4 TB SSDs. Ok, pricing for that 4Tb is a little bit steep (about 400-500 $), but if you need that much space.... wOOdy -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: ProFox <profox-boun...@leafe.com> Im Auftrag von Paul Newton Gesendet: Montag, 22.

Is it likely that the laptop will accept a 15mm HDD (as opposed to the newer 7mm profile)?
