    Hi,

    I've received my R3 and check what HDD is installed in it.
    It's Seagate model ST320LT007 320 GB 16MB 7200
    Momentus Thin Hard Drives | Seagate

    This HDD is 7mm thin. BTW it performs very well. Much better than Hitachi 7k500 I had before.

    Could you please tell me if 9.5mm HDDs also fit without any problems?

    Yes 9.5mm ones will fit. I've got 2 of them in mine.
