    Will the G73JH take 12.5mm hard drives?

    I searched the forums but could not find anything about this for certain. A quick google showed that some sites do say that 12.5mm will work, but I really want to confirm with someone who has done it.

    So has anyone tried TB drives or any others that are 12.5mm?

    From when I replaced one of my drives with an SSD, there's no way in hell you're getting a 12.5mm in there unless you hijack the optical drive bay or something.
