    I'm looking at upgrading my dv6500t from a 320GB hard drive to a 750GB or even 1TB HDD. Problem is, both are 12.5mm thick. Will these thicker hard drives fit in the bay of my laptop?

    I don't think so. You can only put 9.5mm drives.

    Yeah for Pavilion dv2000, dv6000 and dv9000 series, only 9.5 mm drives are compatible.

    For more help, you can refer to this site:
