    This SSD will work with my M11x R3, right?

    Well, the thing that worries me is that the box is very very square, and it doesn't look like it'll fit. And the last hard drive I put in (the Momentus XT) was quite rectangular.

    Probably bad logic, but it's a tad worrisome.

    Opened up my computer and compared the box with the size of the hard drive enclosure, and now it REALLY doesn't look like it will fit.

    Anyone? Help?

    Yes, the box may be square but the actual disk inside the box is rectangular. ;)
    EDIT: Very strange, I'm really baffled.

    Yeah, just looked at the product image again, and that confirms what you said. I feel stupid. :p

    Anyways, thanks!

    The M4 is a 2.5", 9.5mm thick SSD which is the standard size for notebook hard drives, some notebooks use 7mm thick drives, but given it's size, the m11x can probably take a 9.5mm drive.
