    Does not look like it fits in any other machine out there so my guess would be no it wont fit. the trays that hold the M17x HDs have 0 wiggle room so again im going with no .

    IMO, if you need more room than a 500GB drive just get an external then. Not worth it.

    And doesn't breaking something void the warranty too?
