    Hey guys, I bought a 12.5mm HDD for my G50VT a while ago and realized that I can't fit 2, so I can't put it in RAID0.

    A possible solution to this would be using this HDD in a netbook, since I'm in the market for one.

    Does anyone know any netbook that uses a 2.5" HDD that can handle a thicker 12.5mm HDD?

    No netbook on the market can fit a 12.5mm thick drive. The only place you can use them in are laptops which can house the 12.5mm thick drive, and in optical drive to harddrive caddies.
