| - | From the looks of it, the drive looks to be 9.5mm, at least visually. The machine might fit 12.7mm drives, but i would stick to 9.5mm if you want to be sure you won't have any compatibility issues. |

| + | From a visual standpoint it looks like these use 9.5mm drives from the factory. These may take 12.7mm drives, but I'd check with a deck of cards to be sure unless you have a spare 12.5mm drive you can quicky use. If you'd rather be safe stick to 7-9.5mm drives. ***However, you need a drive with a SATA II compatibility mode and cannot use a Fixed III drive.*** |
