    Just wondering if anyone knows whether the Hitachi 500gb drives will fit in a XPS 1530? I know they're 12.5mm high and this is larger than most current drives.

    Anyone?

    There is only room for the standard 9.5mm drives

    thanks for that. Shame it wasn't the answer I was after, considering I'd just seen one of those drives for £110!

    Thanks again.
