    Could someone tell me if the DV2000t has enough clearance to accept a 12.5mm hard drive? I just bought a 12.5mm drive in anticipation of my delivery of the DV2000t and would like to know if it woukd fit...I know it comes with 9.5mm standard Can anybody help?

    thanx

    notebooks are very precise. If its not Exact, it won't fit.

    Looking at the service manual on HP's site I'm fearing the worst. It seems the sata connector is towards the top which would mean the clearance have to be at the bottom as opposed to the top which would be illogical for HP to do if they designed it for 9.5mm drives. Can anyone confirm?
