#1 Post by manuel74 » Mon Jan 04, 2010 9:57 am

I'm looking for a WD10TEVT Scorpio Hard disk for my W500.
It's possible to install a 12.5 mm thick hard disk or I am restricted to only 9 mm hdd ?

thanks
Manuel

No, the only Thinkpads that could use it would be the R series and the W700 in the modular bay.
