    Can you fit a 9.5mm drive (>500GB) in the Studio XPS 13?

    Like the title says. Does the Dell Studio XPS 13 laptop have enough room for the large capacity (750GB, 1TB) 12.5mm 2.5" drives?

    You want to know if it fits 9.5mm drives or 12.5mm drives? It will fit 9.5mm drives, and it will not fit 12.5mm drives. Nonetheless 9.5mm 750GB and 1000GB drives will be out soon enough (if they aren't already... ).

    You might be able to replace our optical drive with a 12.5mm drive given you have the appropriate caddy... but no details on that.

    Oops, that's a typo in my title. Should be 12.5mm not 9.5mm. Couldnt edit it out after. 9.5mm is the standard height for 2.5" drives.
